Day 2 - The C25K Program


I went back to the C25K program today. I'd started it back at the beginning of the year and stopped, (see I told you I was a habitual quitter), but today felt different. Maybe it was because I'm taking this running thing a lot more serious or maybe it was because I was just highly motivated today but I'm very glad that my runs are turning more and more exciting.

C25K is great for me because it gives me a proven plan to go by. I've tried to just do things on my own and every time I've tried to "wing it" its always ended up ugly. Not only that but C25K works me up slow enough to keep me motivated and eager for more.

I actually ended up adding a few more minutes at the end of the plan today because I was filling that good! I was pleased with my results, but more importantly, I felt better because I didn't "over due" it. That's how I felt with my run on Day 1 , like I was overdoing it. I wasn't using a plan then and I can tell it's a big difference today.

Here are my results using the C25K program...

(2.3 mi, 36 min - 15:39 pace)

It's too soon to tell, but in my opinion, that's pretty good! I know one thing though, it FELT great!
