Getting longer, not feeling stronger...

Today I completed week 4, day 2. While I was able to go 1.8 miles, I don't feel like I am getting any stronger. I must be since I am going .6 miles more than when I started and definitely jogging more than I was, but I'm so exhausted and cannot make it to the 5 minute jog that the app suggests. Once I hit 3 minutes I feel like my chest is going to explode. T-27 days until my first 5k, which is still 1.3 miles more than I can do right now. I think momentum will help me during the 5k.

I'm still battling this darn sinus infection as well...time to go back to the doctor tomorrow!

When life gets in the way

Today I completed Week 3, Day 3 of the Couch to 10K. I haven't been running in the last 6 days because of a really bad sinus infection, and family/friend obligations. It felt really hard since I hadn't worked out in so long. I realize that I need to set aside a certain time to run, or some days it won't happen.

I also realized that running in the heat is pretty hard since it is 80 degrees. I need to figure out a way to bring a water bottle with me while I am running. It felt good running in my new running clothes though!

Have a great day!
