Week 3 Day 1

Well, tonight I completed week three day one of C25K! I really like this program the more and more I run. I was able to run the minute and a half and walk a minute and a half, without any problem. The three minute run went really well the first time, thankfully. I was so excited that I was able to run for three minutes straight without wanting to just stop, fall over, and die. I kept a good steady pace. After the three minute run was a three minute walk. That was a nice amount of time to cool down. The next minute and a half run wasn’t too bad either. I was able to do well with that. Sadly, though after the minute and a half run, I had to run for three minutes again and that was rough. My body is not used to running for three minutes straight. It’s not used to running at all. I made it through though. It took a total of eighteen minutes and it was enough for one day.

On the even more positive side, my knees did not hurt me when I was running! I definitely needed the rest and I needed to take it slower. I tried not to run at a really fast pace. I felt like I was slamming my feet into the ground before and that was not good on my knees. Tonight was a great night all together, but I’m glad day one is over and can’t wait to finish day two and three.
