Run run run run, run run run away

SO
I told myself on my birthday last year that I'd run a 10K by my birthday this year. I've started training for this (and Jesse has been training with me) -- an interval training (couch to 10K) program. It's going really well! I'm up to week four now (so I can run two miles without stopping), and next week I stop intervals and just start increasing ( Read more... )

That's so cool! Makes me want to try training for something like that. I'm so horribly out of shape, heheh.

do it! apparently even walking on a regular basis will improve your aerobic capacity... or biking, or basically anything else.

I've recently started walking almost every day! :D

yay! it's so good to get out in the world, huh? i think that's been a really healing part of running for me -- just being NOT in front of a computer and moving through the world.

i like this plan a lot! just let me know when... esp with the time change, it'll be perfect to go on a nice run! apparently moving from 2 to 3 miles is the most difficult shift (that's where i am right now too).

thats exactly where I am too! I started on the couch to 5k program, and im on week 4 too. I can run two miles now but Istill have to push myself that last half mile to finish. Working up to 2.5 right now, and trying to tell my body that even though i dont want to keep running, I can.

that's awesome! my sister has totally been my "running coach," since she ran marathons and stuff in high school. what she keeps telling me is "you're allowed to slow down, but you're not allowed to walk" and "you just need to show your lungs who's boss." it's been so helpful! i'm really interested to see what it's like next week, when i stop walking entirely.

i know you mentioned you were going to do a 5k down in san diego. i was looking at that one, after you mentioned it, because the timing's right. are you still aiming for that? it would be fun to see each other if i am, in fact, going to be down there!
