1st day doing the 5K training

My first day on the running regimen was good. I completed the 20 minutes of 90 sec on and 60 sec off pretty easily. I was running at 6.5 so I felt a little fatigue in my right leg the last couple of times through. I'll go at it again on Wednesday. Hopefully I won't be so sore that it affects me on Wed. I had a protein shake afterwards to help with the muscle building and soreness.

I just went to the cool running website and found out that I did the training backwards. Oops. I may stick with the 90 on and 60 off since it was doable for me. Did I mention that I'm dsylexic?

i went to the gym today, too. ran, but did 5 on and 5 off since it's been so long. i got some niiiiice stretching in after, too. i LOVE post-running stretches - that's when i'm my 'bendiest!'

way to go, you. i know you'll probably love this whole running gig!

if i wasn't so wishy-washy, i'd say i'd join you and actually *RACE* in october (which i've never really done) - but i'm afraid i'll flake out.
