That Recliner is Just Too Comfy!
It's been 3 weeks since my last race & I feel like a slug. Really. This is my downfall: If I don't have another race event on the horizon as a goal, I fall back into the old rut. Since the Disney 1/2 marathon I've only been for short walks with Mickey. So, new goal! I want to work toward running a 5K! Short distance, but I said run, not walk. There's a beginner's training plan out there called "Couch to 5K". Training the 1st week consists of a 5 min. walk to warmup, then alternate a 1 min jog with a 1.5 min walk, for a total of 20 minutes, and the running increases each week. Doesn't sound too brutal, right? And hey, I've done a marathon, right? Uh yeah. There's a reason I've always walked my races. Don't really like running. So why not? Haha. I started yesterday & went out again today, but today I took my iPod, which really helps. I also need accountability, so if you're reading this, maybe you could leave a comment just to let me the you know!
