5K Friday : Week 5


Welcome, welcome, welcome to another sweat-inducing edition of 5K Friday!


Remember last week when I requested prayer for this doozy of a request?


Well, if you were praying, thankyouthankyouthankyou!!! It's absolutely amazing what our bodies are capable of, should we give them a giant little shove in the right direction. Our progress has been growing by leaps and bounds.

I'm happy to report that Rach & I met up on Wednesday for our 2-mile run, and we did not die, throw up, or pass out. We pushed right through the side stitches, aching calves, and heavy breathing, and finished in good time!

Yesterday and today are my "rest days," and then Saturday morning starts Week #6! Hard to believe we've been at this for 6-weeks!

Here's a little preview of the Week #6 festivities:


That little beauty at the end? The "jog for 25 minutes with no walking?" Yeah. It might only be 5 minutes more than what we did Wednesday, but it's still a little intimidating.

Anyone else training for a race? Anyone else thinking of taking up running just because? I would love to turn 5K Fridays into a friend-making endeavor. A little Mr. Linky action? Let me know what y'all think and if there's enough interest then I'll throw a twist into next week's 5KF.

Gotta run! (ha!),

I have a 1/2 marathon in January I'm training for! Put me on the list I need all the motivation I can get! :-)

I'm trying to become a runner too and would love to do a half-marathon! but anytime I go past four miles I start to feel like I'm going to pass out! lol

I am training for a couple of 1/2 marathons coming up and I like to jog to just stay in shape. I don't have set goals though, I just try to run 3-5 times a week. You are very motivating and would love to create a friend making endeavor darling! Can't wait to see your twist. ;) Great job and keep it up! I know it's hard to run consistently like that, I am working up to that myself.

Friendly notice, because I decided to make everyone's life difficult, I changed my web address. You'll need to delete my old address (http://lifewiththecissells.blogspot.com/) and add my new one (http://maybeitwasmtown.blogspot.com/) in your dashboard.

Sorry!
