5K Training

About a month or so ago I decided to register for a 5k. This is something I've wanted to do for 2 years now, but never actually lost enough weight to participate in one, or never just registered for one. So I did and am giving myself 12 weeks to train.

Yesterday was walk for 20 min, but I played tennis instead, and Sunday spend 60 min walking the dog. Today I am on day 2, which is "cross-training." I went to the gym, spend 30 min on the bike, and about 15 min on the treadmill, so 45 min of exercise. I still have to walk the dog, and play softball so I thought the 45 min was efficient. I have not been to the gym to workout in MONTHS. But over the weekend I made myself a weekly schedule, and put it down so when I drop my son off for school I go right to the gym. And I did it without questioning myself.

Tonight I will post my weekly schedule, which will also include my weekly meal plan. Ta-ta off to do homework!
