Week 6 – C25k

Quick review for week 6. I know some of you get the daily updates via Facebook as well, so I’m sorry if this is a bit too much information about my runs as well as the fact that this is just a recap of what gets posted.

Tuesday was interesting as it was a slight combo day. Normally, I play basketball Monday/Wednesday/Friday and run Tuesday/Thursday/Saturday, but my work basketball team got bumped to playing Tuesday night. Luckily, or not, I only played about 1 minute or so I was more than ready for my run. I ended up running 2.02 miles doing a 8min, 5min, 8 min run, which was the same distance as about 2 weeks prior when I was still including my warm up and cool down.

Thursday was more normal. The goal was 2 x 1 miles run. The first mile I completed in just over 10 min, so I was thrilled to see that. However, the second mile took a tad longer. My run of 22 minutes for the 2 miles was something I could still be proud of.

Saturday was both daunting and amazing. I wanted to do a beach run before my 10k for Miracle Miles for Kids, which is run from Morro Bay to Cayucos on the beach. The run was a continuous 25, that ended up at 29 minutes for a total of 2.4 miles. It was very cold and windy, but I felt really good about completing it. So far, the hardest part of every run is the first 5 minutes.

I’m quickly closing in on completing the Couch to 5k and so far I’m amazed I’ve been able to get this far. I’ve never been a runner, and still don’t consider myself one, but this is a good start.
