C25k - Week 2

Now that I had my mini mental breakdown over my Saturday night splurge, here it is Monday and I am up and at 'em, ready to tackle this week head on! Thus, with a new week, comes a new challenge - C25k Week 2. For those of you just tuning in, Couch25k (C25k) is a 9-week training program designed for non-running individuals to be able to run a 5k or 30 minutes without stopping or walking.

I like this program because each week gets just a little bit harder. It's not a huge jump. This is what this week's workout looks like:

Last week I was running for a minute and walking for a minute and a half. This week, running for a minute and a half, walking for two minutes. Not much more than last week, but still a challenge all in all. What doesn't kill me will make me stronger. I can do this!

Along with C25k, I have been throwing in a mix of pilates and Zumba when I can. I have also been focusing on the abdominal muscles and upper body muscles (biceps, triceps, pectorals, deltoids, etc.).

MyFitnessPal has been and continues to be a great help and I want to thank my friends and family who have given me positive feedback, comments, motivation, and advice. Thanks, I love you all!
