Over the past few weeks, I’ve been working toward running a 5K with the C25K running program . Three walking/running workouts a week gradually progressing in length and intensity to move you from couch potato to running a 5K in 9 weeks.
Well, it’s taken me more like 11 weeks. I had a tough time getting through Week 6 and had to attempt it three times before I was able to get through all three workouts. But I did it!
I only have Week 9 left to go – three more workouts and I’ll be there! Able to run a 5K. (3.1 miles for people who are metric-ly challenged like me)
Never one to rest on my laurels, didn’t I stumble across one hundred pushups yesterday? 0 to 100 pushups in 6 weeks. I’m not going to try this while I’m still doing C25K, so next Monday, the 100 pushups challenge begins. I bet it takes me longer than 6 weeks, but I bet I can still get there. And just so you know, those will be girlie pushups, on the knees.
Care to join me?
new to your blog.
what a lovely space you have here.
I’m so happy to have “found” you.
Such inspiration and comfort found perusing your archives.
And looking forward to much more to come.
Oh boy, I don’t know that my old back could take even girlie push ups! LOL. Good luck though, we’ll all want to see a photo of that milestone! I never could do pull-ups either, not even for Marine Corps testing in high school…
