It is suppose to help take you from couch potato to runner in 8 weeks.
Now I am not a couch potato but boy did I feel like one today.
I just spent 3 months sitting at a desk full time to going home to kids and hubby to sleep and then all over again.
There wasn't much time for walking like I usually do.
I was so mentally exhausted that the thought of getting on my stationary bike made me feel almost sick. ( yeah I know should have done it anyways.... Won't make that mistake again)
Anyways, so I start the program today. Nice and easy, only about 25 min I can do this.
First I start out with a 5 minute warm up walk. I can totally do that! As a matter of fact I nailed that part if it.
Then the next section is a combination of running for 1 minute and then walking for 1.5 min. Okay not to bad I can handle that too..... Or not. I made it through 3 of the 6 1 minute runs before my legs hurt so bad I couldn't run anymore. 3 minutes of running and I am done? Are you kidding me?!?
So I stretch my legs out and then just walk the rest of the program and by the the time the cool down is done my legs feel better.
I stretch some more as the voice in my headphones say "way to go! See you in a couple if days."
Way to Go?!? I only finished half of it and then I stop myself and say again I Finished Half of it!!!
I didn't fail, I did more today than I have in a while and I ran!! I did half if it plus I didn't just stop I kept walking and finished my time.
As I walk twice a day for this next week I will get better and maybe on Wednesday when I do the program again I will do all of it!! Or maybe 3/4 of it but I will improve and I will celebrate all of the small accomplishments.
So today I celebrate!
I Did Half Of It!!!!
