C25k - Week 2, Day 1

Today started the second week of the C25k program. I knew things were going to be a little more difficult than last week, but I was not intimidated.

5 minute brisk warm-up walk, per usual.
This time the jogging/running increased to 1 minute and 30 seconds
The walking was increased to 2 minutes.
Alternating for 25 minutes.

I'm pretty sure this is to build endurance, which is the key to running a 5k or any other long distance for that matter. Ha.

With it being the first day of this set, of course I was winded rather quickly. But thanks to KITTIE!!! (again), I was able to push through!

Instead of doing 3 days per week like they outline, I have been trying to do this every time I go to the gym or around 5 times per week. Every day it gets a little easier and gets me ready for the next week. Monday starts rough but by the end of the week, I've gotten it!

For any of you that have considered the C25k program, I highly recommend it. If I can do it, YOU can do it too!!
