C25K- last day of week 5
Exercise, Menu August 20th, 2007The 20 minute run was today and it was a doozy. I stopped at 10 minutes for a sip of water and then continued on. The last 10 minutes I was slow as a turtle, but still jogging and that’s what’s important, right?
Here’s week 6, day 1
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then:
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
* Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Jog 3/4 mile (or 8 minutes)
* Walk 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
* Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
There’s one more day with intervals and then the rest is just whole sets of running. One small problem is that my jogging stroller’s wheels are super squeaky. People can hear me coming from a mile away. It’s kind of funny, though I think I need to get some WD40. I feel delightfully tired now, but I need to do my weights.
Menu:
6:00 banana
8:00 bran flakes w/2 percent milk (we are out of skim!)
9:30 Cup of hot green tea
10:15 soy peach yogurt
11:00 baked chicken breast w/ lima beans, half of a baked sweet potatoe
2:00 small bowl of bran flakes, 1/4 banana
4:30 baked chicken breast w/ mixed veggies, half a sweet potatoe
to be continued

Wow! That is great! I am so glad you were able to do it. That helps boost my confidence up a little. I wish I coud run everyday like you, but my joints need the day of rest right now. I am going to running 4 days a week instead of just 3. Hope to up that to 5 days aweek sometime in the future. Your doing awesome! I can just picture you squeaking along with baby! And you are doing all this while pushing a stroller! You ROCK!

I love the sqeaking stoller, I can just picture it…at least there is no need to yell at people to get out of the way! Your running is so inspiring, and the fact that you push the stroller on top of running just shows how dedicated you are! Keep up the good work!

Goodness girl! You are such an inspiration! Running 20 minutes at snail pace or not is WONDERFUL!
