On Tuesday I liked up with KTJ and began the Spring 5K challenge. I mentioned how I had already begun running a couple weeks ago and was rather far into the 8 week training plan to run a 5k. This week I ran 3 miles straight on the treadmill in just under 30 minutes!
But wait!
It gets better!
I knew that the hubs and I were going out for dinner last night so I thought it be best I exercised prior to eating out. What I thought was going to be a 30 minute run turned into a 4.5 mile run in under 41 minutes! I was so excited!
Today, I really wanted to push myself to get three miles done as fast as I could so I alternated between 6.2 mph and 7.0 mph. Time went by quickly, thanks to the Bravo network on TV and within 27 minutes I hit 3 miles on the treadmill. Not bad for only starting running again a month ago. ( yes I know I'm bragging, but wouldn't you???) now if only I could get my weight to drop like I got my running time to drop...
Anyway, today is filled with grocery shopping, cleaning, and a benefit auction at my school for student scholarships!
Did anyone reach a huge milestone this week? I'd love to hear about it!

Oh my gosh! I am so proud (and jealous) of how far you've come in that short of time! that is seriously something to brag about- "what did you do today" "oh no biggie just ran 4.5 MILES!"
ReplyDeletethat's you! are you going to sign up for an official 5k?
Hey!
DeleteThank you! I feel like the bragging rights wore off quick as currently I am eating Samoa Girl Scout Cookies. I need someone in my office to slap them out of my hand!
Haha!
