Couch to 5k Day 3 was almost non-existent!  On Saturday morning at 5:15am, which would have been Day 3, I got a call from a mama who was in labor.  She rocked that labor, though, and had her baby, natural, by 8:07, and after I left the hospital, I went to see my bestie and her new baby!  I didn’t get home until 3pm, rested a little, and went to our Rode0-Cook Off at church.  On Sunday, we had church and the finale of the Rodeo Cook-Off.  When we got home, I crashed for 2 hours (blissful, uninterrupted sleep!) and then vegged out on the couch the entire afternoon.

Yesterday, I did Day 3.   It worked out well, though, because I was still pretty tired from the long weekend.  I’m going to keep on trucking!

couch to 5k day 3My friend, Beth, from Musing Mainiac, told me about the Zombies, Run! 5K Training App, so I’m going to download that today and see what it’s all about!  I’ll review it when I get it!

My main thing, now, is to remember to keep LOTS of water in me and figure out how to tell my mind that I really need to pick up better eating habits.  That’s the psychological/hard part, but I will get there!

Each week, you’re given a specific workout, and you’ll only train three days a week.  Make sure you space the days out, like Monday/Wednesday/Friday, or Sunday/Tuesday/Friday.  Only three days.

Week 1 – Couch to 5k

Warm Up

  • 5 Minutes – Brisk Walk (Smooth Fitness Speed 3)

Workout

  • 60 Seconds – Jog (Smooth Fitness Speed 4)
  • 90 Seconds – Brisk Walk (Smooth Fitness Speed 3)
  • Repeat 7 more times (total of 20 minutes workout)
  • On the last jog, I upped the speed to 5, just to push myself a little harder.

Day 1 & 2 went by pretty easily.  I’m looking forward to one more day of easy jogging before Week 2 starts up with a little bit more jogging!
