Day 37 was actually yesterday but I was WAY too exhausted to blog. I got up early in the morning to head to the gym and do 2.75 miles for the first time. Although the progress is slow and steady, I love how the small increment increases allow you to feel like you accomplish something each week.
2.75 miles = 27:24
I was able to run the whole thing without stopping and after I finished, it was the first time I felt confident I could run the whole 5K without stopping. (Another 4 minutes and I would have been at 3.1). I also realized I ran for 27 minutes straight!! When I started this process, running for 10 minutes nearly did me in, and now I am doing 3 times that much. Now before I get carried away, I have to say I am quite sore this time. My schedule this week is CraZy busy so I will only be running 3 days and resting each day in between and then walking on Sunday. No in between workouts this week. I will be set to try 3 miles for the first time, next Tuesday and the 5K is the week after that. I am starting to get pretty excited about running my first race ever!
Therefore I NEED a new playlist!
Three songs I’m feeling right now:
Diddy – Coming Home
Lupe Fiasco – The Show Goes On
Monica – Still Standing
I need recommendations. The title of this playlist is Endurance, so I need songs that make that word come alive. Suggestions??? 🙂
