Week one is completed! I made it through my 5k training schedule for week one. I feel great and I even lost 3 pounds. I started my week two training schedule. It requires me to run for 90 seconds, followed by a 2 minute walk. I repeat this pattern until I have gone 3.1 miles. Yesterday, it took me 46 minutes and 50 seconds, which is a slight improvement from last week. I have made a little progress and now I will just keep running.
This week I learned the importance of stretching. I felt so much better on the days I stretched after I ran. On the days I was pressed for time and did not stretch, my muscles felt tight the rest of the day.
I also learned that I have to be intentional about scheduling my running time. If I just try to haphazardly fit it in sometime during the day, it is easy to run out of time. If I schedule it and include running on my to do list, I am sure to complete my 5k training plan for that day.
