This Saturday is starting off pretty good, I must say. Got up early to go to my first 5k of 2013, Desert Classic. It has been a while since I ran a 5k. I actually do run/walks now because I lost most of my running endurance. My goal was to do it in 45 mins or less or a pace of 15 mins or less, and I met that goal at 44 mins for a pace of 14:12. I hope to improve on this over the year and eventually get to the point where I can run the full 5k. I wore my new Garmin of course and it was interesting seeing how my pace changes as I switch between running and walking. Amazed to see my fastest time was at a pace of 10:30.. never thought I could run that fast even for a short distance.
My weigh in at WW was just as good - down 2.6 lbs! Happy to see the scale going down. Did not meet my goal of down 5 lbs in Jan, but I'll take 3.2 lb loss over a gain for the month. I got 5 workouts in:
Sunday - bike 40 mins
Monday - elliptical 45 mins
Wednesday - swim 2,000 yrds 1 hr
Friday - bike 40 mins
Saturday - 5k run/walk 44mins
Looking forward to another good week!
