Hey everyone,
I am so proud of you all! It is amazing to watch everyone's progress, even though we are working out and preparing in different ways and in different locations, too!
Last night, I was all set to just sit at home and do some laundry when Chrissy couldn't make it to the track. "It's darn cold," I reasoned. But then I thought: NO! You feel good, you have time, and boy are you in a bad mood about work! I knew it was time to blow some steam off. So I did my first solo 5k-prep workout. It wasn't much different from the ones I've done so far with Chrissy and Sonnie except I did it by myself! Oh, and I brought my iPod. The time actually went really fast alternating between walking and jogging. I even broke a sweat in the midst of the chilly weather. Alright!
Here's what I did:
-2 very brisk laps around the top of the track (concourse?) as warm-up
-25 minutes of the Week 2 plan (alternating 90 sec jogging/2 min running)
-1 full lap of the concourse jogging (rather slowly)
-2 cool down laps of very slow walking
-stretches
Also, a creepy dude watched me stretch from the parking lot and I kinda speeded those along. Hee hee.
Anyway, it is easy to have a set back, but you all are keeping me inspired and I do so appreciate it. We will definitely be ready for a late March/early April 5 K at this rate. I am so proud of everyone and also proud of me! Keep up the good work.
And also: tomorrow at 10am at the rec center at SFA if anyone is interest. Sonnie, Chrissy, and I are all going.

working out by yourself is a total milestone. congrats! also - wow! what a great training session! i'm so proud that you ran a whole lap! i can't wait to get back on track. (i stole that pun from mary, and i'm not giving it back.)
Good for you! It is hard to get out there and you ... YOU did it! Yay!
I want to steal it also, but it doesn't sound the same when I say I'm going to get back on treadmill. Oh well.
