So today was the day! I got home from work, walked the dog, got changed and headed over to the workout room with a plan in mind. To attempt week three of Couch to 5K for the first time. Week three consists of a five minute warm up, then alternating between 90 seconds of jogging, 90 seconds of walking, then 3 minutes of jogging and 3 minutes of walking twice. The downside was that, with me being so clumsy on the treadmill, it was hard to jog for long times without starting to zig zag so during the three minute sections of jogging I got about halfway and then had to hang onto the bar on the treadmill because otherwise I was scared I would trip. The good part is that even though I had to do that, I still kept going and didn't have to stop jogging halfway through (even though the second 3 minute section was really hard to keep going at one point) or I didn't have to slow the speed down halfway through. I did it and finished it all.
I'm interested to see what my pace is out in the real world running. According to the treadmill today I only did about a mile and a half in 28 minutes. I feel like in the real world I'll probably go a further distance... though I'm not sure if I'll be able to finish it all but we shall see! All I need to do is take things one day at a time and I'll get by!
Anyway. Thursday is Monthly Measurement day and I'll be taking my new measurements to see how things have been going on that progress. And I've been taking my blood pressure twice a day per my doctor's instructions for almost a week now and so far the results have been pretty good!
Welp, I'm sorry it's so short, but I have a few things I need to do before I go to bed. I hope everyone is having a great week so far!
Blessings and Later Days!
