Well, I'm off in about an hour to run the Jared Coones Pumpkin Run. I've been training for a 5k for the past 9 weeks, so I just realized I'd completed the exercise 3 days a week goal without even thinking about it! I followed the Couch to 5k plan here. I started at week 2 since I knew I wasn't that out of shape and then I added on a week at the end. The program worked out perfectly for this goal because it requires you to get about 30 minutes of exercise three times a week. I would really suggest this program to anyone that would like to try a 5k. It progresses really slowly and nothing ever felt too incredibly hard.
Let's hope this training pays off....today is making me think I may be crazy. I just looked at the weather here and it's 37 degrees outside! Yikes! I don't think we've run in anything under 50 degrees while we were training. Perfect timing for a cold front to come through, huh?
Wish me luck! :)
