Running Update

It's my final week!! Technically it's week 10 since I started this 9 week program, I got a little stuck on week 7; that whole week sucked - I could not run for 25 minutes straight. I was stuck at 20 minutes and had to stop for a minute, then I would get back on and run the last 5 minutes. It was such a mental block, so I decided to do week 7 again and I actually made it the "second time". I think the 5 minute jump from 20 minutes to 25 minutes was just too much for me - I was winded and my legs were dead at 20 minutes - it's crazy to think how hard it was, because now it's so much easier!

Moving up 3 more minutes in week 8 was so much easier, I think I would recommend a 10 week program and break up that 5 minute jump in week 7. Now I am on week 9 (my 10 - confused??) and I have been running for 30 minutes!! I really can't believe it. 30 Minutes for me is running 2 miles - 2 miles!! that is crazy running one mile was huge for me so 2 is amazing!

Next up I am going to get faster - I am not sure exactly how I am going to accomplish that, I am looking for some kind of program or schedule. But for sure I will continue running 3 times a week and walking 2 times a week.
