My goal is to lose 25 pounds in 3 months. On Monday, I started this 5k 7-week training schedule for beginners. I am so out of shape (on land at least). I don’t think I’ve run consistently since freshman year of college. I picked this schedule as it starts off fairly easy. Monday started off with 15 seconds of running followed by 45 seconds of walking for 30 minutes. I was ready to be done after 5 minutes, but I pushed through and finished! It really doesn’t help that I live in a hilly neighborhood.
In junior high, my fastest mile around a track was 6:35 (2 mile cross country under 15). I hated running, but I was pretty good at it. I still hate running but now I’m super slow. Hopefully I’ll be able to run a mile in less than 10 minutes after the 7 weeks. I’m doing the Warrior Dash at the end of July.
Now off to do day 3…
