I'm still training for my first ever 5K race. This is my 5th week of training and I'm still SUPER EXCITED! This week my training has kind of intensified. In the earlier weeks, I just had to run in increments of 5 mins. at the most with some walking in between. On the second day of training this week, I had to run two 8 min. increments and on Friday I'll have to run a full 20 mins. with no walking. Again, I know 20 mins. may not sound like much to most people, but it is for me! I can remember when I first started training for this 5K race and I would feel like giving up after just running 90 seconds! I'm proud that I can now run more than that without feeling like I'm going to pass out!
I've started back going to my Power Sculpting class at the Y. That class really helped me get in shape when I was working out for my wedding. I'm hoping it'll keep me from any running injuries. We'll see how it goes! :) Only 4 more weeks of training left before the August 21st race in Charlotte! I'll be ready!
