I am so proud of myself! The HMR assignment this week was to do 1500 PA over the holiday weekend and I totally blew the doors off that number! I walked 4 miles w/ my teen on Friday, ran 4 miles on Sat, ran 4 miles on Sunday, then walked 4 miles / ran 2 miles on Monday. My total PA for those 4 days was 2300!
I'm currently on week 4 of the Couch to 5K program which is the first week that you run more than you walk. It has not been too bad. As soon as the last 5 min run is over, I'm throwing my hands in the air like Rocky Balboa with a big ol' grin for making it to the end!
I feel stronger. The initial soreness of running has passed, my joints have accepted that running is here to stay so for the most part, I have little to no discomfort after a long work out. Yesterday's 6 mile trek across Lake Murray ended with a small pre-blister on the bottom of my left foot, but even that is going away.
Today I plan to either walk or go on my bike. Time to burn burn burn calories for my mid-week weigh in! 160's here I come!
