5K Friday : Week 2

Welcome to Week 2 of "5K Fridays!"

This week they kicked it up a notch on me. It might not sound like much, but bear in mind the name of this program is "Couch to 5K." I was doing well with the couch part, so it's baby steps on the way to 5K.

Here's what my work-outs looked like this week:

5 minutes: Brisk walk warm-up (3.5 mph)
90 seconds: Run (6.0 mph)
90 seconds: Walk (4.0 mph)
3 minutes: Run
3 minutes: Walk
90 seconds: Run
90 seconds: Walk
5 minutes: Cool down (3.0 mph)

Let me tell you something. I now realize just how SHORT 90 seconds of walking feels when you know you've got a 3 minute run coming up.

Tonight is my last work-out on Week 2, then Monday it's on to Week 3. Week 3 has me a little unnerved...they think I'm going to be able to run 1/2 mile next week. They've sure got a lot of faith in these legs!
