So earlier today I did Week 1, Day 1 of the C25K program. I told myself I was going to do it when I had so much fun thinking about it yesterday. I WANTED to start last night, but didn't because it got too late. But today, today I woke up at 10, and I think I was out of the house around 11:30... After I snapped a few photos of myself, just for fun!
It. Was. AWESOME.
I had no idea what to expect from myself starting this... Since, like I said before, I've never been great about running... At all. Ever. But the only way to find out is to try, and I tried today... And I DID IT! And I feel amazing for it! Week 1, Day 1 is a five minute warmup, intervals of running for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds, and a five minute cooldown. Came out to 31 minutes out and about in my neighboorhood... And I have to say that I totally rocked it. ;) During a couple of the running intervals I kind of felt like dying, but that was always when I only had about 10 seconds left of running anyway, so I just pushed through to the walking. :D It was pretty phenominal.
When I got home again I was totally sweaty and gross, but of course rather than immediately taking a shower I got on my laptop and have been here ever since, rambling on about this to anyone who will listen! AND I had a fun moment when I went onto mapmyrun.com and found out that the route I took today came out to 1.84 miles! That's ALMOST two whole freaking miles! How super awesome is that? Very, of course! I felt SO proud and SO accomplished... I can't wait to do it again in a couple days. :D I just hope my scale stops being a jerk! I was back up to 251 today, which at this point I'm blaming on water retention, since my muscles aren't used to being worked as much as I've worked them in the last couple of days. Oh well! Shit happens. :)
