When we started this challenge, Mary found this article online which we all thought was really useful for beginner folks like us. So, with the schedule in front of me, I decided to follow it. I had already been running a little on the treadmill, so I was able to start on week 5 or so. However, since then I haven't made a lot of progress.
Today I hit the treadmill with a "no excuse" attitude in my mind. I can't quit because I'm tired, or because I'm feeling winded, that's not going to help me achieve my goal. So, I ran, and I finished workout 2 for week 6. I'm feeling better, and if I stick to the schedule I'm still on track to finish the training before the 5k.
Friday I will attempt the final workout for week 6, which is running 2.25 miles straight. May not sound hard to some, but for me it really is. This will be the longest distance I have ever run straight through. If I can't complete it Friday then it means I just need to try again on Saturday. I will finish this 5k running, and I still have 3 weeks to make sure I push myself to make that happen.
