Running, week #3


I have a confession...
The original 4 week running plan was a little too
...um... "intense" for me. 
It appears I overestimated my starting fitness level. 

Modifications had to be made. 
And I'm ok with that. 
As long as I keep doing *something*. 


I'm proud to share that I did run/walk/jog/elliptical/frolic
23 miles this past week. 
And also attended a few pilates and yoga classes. 
And apparently burned 2572 calories
Take that, laziness.


Bootcamp starts next Monday, 
and I won't have the time or energy to 
continue with a 4-day-a-week running plan.
So I am abandoning the official "running plan".
But unofficially, I will still be working on my cardio. 

In case any of you were actually interested in running plans, 
or planning on following along, 
here are a few links to awesome running plans 
that I was drawing my inspiration from: 

I have to admit, 
my body has not changed much in the past two weeks.
Which could be slightly discouraging, but
I have noticed a definite change in my energy levels 
and overall 'tude the past two weeks.
So while I can't see the outward effects yet, 
my insides are happy :)  
Don't we all love happy insides?!

I started with Couch to 10k and it literally changed my life (um...enough to make my crazy ass run a half marathon). Keep it up!
