The Week in Review

I took this last week pretty easy, mostly walking rather than doing my couch to 5k sessions, though I did get a few nighttime runs in as well. The week 4 sessions still feel very difficult to me, but I am surprised that I get into a good rhythm and am able to keep going. It's my lungs that hold me back, so I need to see what I can do about boosting my cardiovascular fitness.

The weather is really shaping up (finally) so Oliver and I spent the day out on the town! A nice walk to Seattle Center and the Belltown Dog Park, followed by Pike Place Market and a nice snack at Macrina before walking back home.

I am hoping to try out hot yoga tomorrow, so we'll see how that goes. I think it might kill me, but it's worth a try at least once :)

Night Off

Woo, I am tired and taking a night off. A bit sore from my very long walk after my run last night. Just going to enjoy a lazy night in. I was pretty bad today, I think Selene is right - no more cupcakes for a while! Well, I've been pretty good lately, so I deserved a splurge :)

I've made it through a few of the week 4 sessions, 2 of them to be exact. They're definitely an endurance challenge for me. The 5 minute segments are difficult and I am completely exhausted by the end of each workout.

I've been alternating between the week 4 and week 3 sessions, and I think it's working. The week 3 sessions allow me to push my speed and the week 4 sessions force me to push my endurance. I'm nervous about pushing beyond week 4, but that's next week's problem.
