Today I decided to get out of bed on this rain-soaked day and start a 5K running program for complete beginners. I do NO exercise currently, and I'd like to be healthier so why not!
For my first day, I had to do 4 minutes of brisk walking followed by 1 minute of running and repeat this 4 times for a 20-minute workout (not forgetting to stretch beforehand and afterwards!). I wasn't sure how I'd handle it as I usually feel out of breath just walking up the stairs, but I managed it easily and I even feel good about it! I used Map My Run to total up my route and I ran/walked 1.5 miles. I'm going to try skipping the rest of the first week and go straight to the second week of goals as I didn't feel challenged enough today.
Day off tomorrow and then back to it on Wednesday! You should come join me ;)
