I am going to try something new. See I signed up for a race on August 4th. I am a bit petrified. It is a 5K. Not too long but...
- Some days I can barely run a half a mile
- Right now it is 85 some degrees outside and extremely humid and the race is in August
- Last time I ran this race it poured rain. I mean poured to the point my clothes were so saturated with water I think I weighed an extra 20 pounds.
I signed up because I wanted the shirt. It is the Sea Leg Shuffle. They have lobster on them. Stupid shirt. I need to have you.
Ah...
Thus I am posting my workouts till said race to keep me motivated.
Saturday: Run 5 minutes, Walk 5 minutes for 60 minutes. Run at speed 5.0 (12 minute mile)
Sunday: Walk 3 minutes, Run 30 minutes, Walk 15 minutes. Run at speed 5.0 (12 minute mile)
Monday: 30 minute Yoga DVD
Tuesday: Jillian Micheal's 30 Day Shred DVD Workout 1
Wednesday: Walk 10 minutes, Run 10 minutes for 60 minutes. Run at speed 5.0 (12 minute mile)
Thursday: Run 5 minutes, Walk 5 minutes for 60 minutes. Run at speed 5.0 (12 minute mile)
Friday: Run 20 minutes, Elliptical 35 minutes
The plan is for Sunday to be the long run day. I hope to increase time of running not so much speed. Although it would be sweet if I could get to a 10 minute mile by August.
What a great idea Emily! I just started training today for a 5k as well, using an app called C25K, although I may not get to your level by the 4th but I will follow along. I need the motivation as well!
