Today was another success in the Couch to 5k program. I am surprised at how well I breath while running. I was sure that it would be hard for me to run but I think that doing Zumba for the last year has helped my stamina quite a bit.
We started out at my house with a 5 minute warm up then ran for 1 minute, walked for 1.5 minutes and continued that cycle for the next 20 minutes. Then finished by walking another 1.5 miles for a total of 2.52 miles in 45 minutes tonight. A good stretch when I got home was a great way to finish the workout. It felt wonderful and I am still so energized from it.
I had 2 partners tonight Christy Walters and Angie Walters. They also did great. We all realize that getting up to the 5k mark is going to take some major dedication. At least we are up to the challange. We will be back to Couch to 5k on Friday with a break from workouts for the weekend.
Tomorrow night is Zumba which is by far the most exciting workout I have ever done in my entire life. So unlike a workout. More like a fun night out dancing with the girls except for all of the sweat. LOL. If you have not ever tried Zumba make tomorrow the day you do. I guarantee that you will fall in love with it just like I did.
If you need help finding an instructor near you go to http://www.zumba.com/ and search using your zip code. There are so many out there that there must be one close to where you live.
Good night friends I am off to finish reading Devious by Lisa Jackson. I will let you know my thoughts on that book tomorrow. =)
