A while back a friend of mine started posting her daily activities on Facebook with the goal of doing something "active" every day for 90 days straight (Bel, if you're reading this please correct me if I'm wrong). At the time I think I was sick or on vacation or probably moving, so I didn't jump on the chance to join in on a fitness challenge like I usually do. Well, we're moved now and have been here for almost 2 months so I decided it was time to jump back on the exercising bandwagon. So yesterday I drug myself out of bed at 5:30 (AM) and went for a jog. Not just any jog though, the week 5 day 1 of my 10k training program jog. That's 68 minutes of heart-pounding sweatiness. Mind you, I haven't run since mid-June, and before that I'm thinking the last consistent running I did was back in March on a treadmill (because we were still in Wisconsin and the snow doesn't melt until June).
Let me tell you, coming back into wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. We have been leading a fairly active life out here in California. We've been to the beach a dozen times, walked around Disneyland for hours on end, gone fishing, and cleaning or moving on down time. Plus, I've been cooking more since our new kitchen is so conducive to cooking (pictures to follow eventually). Cooking takes a lot of energy. Who knew?
At any rate, day one is done. Today is day two. I'll try to post weekly updates on my progress, but if I forget please do forgive me. :)
The stat's so far:
- Day 1: Couch to 10k day 1 of week 5
- Day 2: Physique 57 DVD
