NC Art Museum


Matt and I visited the Art Museum yesterday. It was good, cool, free entertainment. I was hoping for some more modern art but I found a way to have a good time ;)

Couch to 5k: Week 6, Day 2


Today's workout consisted of:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: - Jog 10 minutes - Walk 3 minutes - Jog 10 minutes - Five-minute cooldown walk

This was the last day of interval running. From now on it is solid times. Tomorrow will be 25 minutes of straight running, plus 5 minutes of warm-up and cool down walking. So my goal is to complete a 5k in that amount of time. We shall see.

This Saturday will be my first race. I am hopeful that it will go great!

Couch to 5k: Week 5, Day 3


Just Completed Week 5 - Day 3 of C25K
Today's workout consisted of:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog 20 with no walking. Finish with a five-minute cooldown walk.

What a great day for running! Totally ran 20 minutes without stopping (and dodged a mother and her kid on a tricycle taken up the whole sidewalk TWICE). I mean really, you can't pick that kid up for 2 seconds so I don't have to jump into the road to avoid him? Thanks lady.

Couch to 5k: Week 5, Day 2


Today's workout consisted of:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then: - Jog 8 minutes - Walk 5 minutes - Jog 8 minutes - Five-minute cooldown walk

According to my Nike+ I completed 3.11miles in 35.44 with an average of 11.29 a mile. I am still walking so I am sure that is killing my time. Next workout is 5 min. warm up, 20 minute run (no walking), 5 minute cool down. We'll see how that goes ;)
