In my last blog update, I talked about the next 5K in my future. On April 13, I will be running in the George Washington Parkway Classic 5K. Beth and Ellie are both coming to DC to run the 5K, so the team is back together! We have also started supporting and motivating each other in our training through text message.
Tonight I got back out there and started my running again. I kept it short tonight, partly because it was my first run in a while and partly because it was cold. I was worried about the cold but quickly realized there was nothing to be worried by. Once I started running, I warmed up and I tried to focus on the music and not on how cold I was or wasn't.
I walk/ran 1.5 miles and ran a total of 8 minutes. I am sure I could have ran more and that was very encouraging to me. Next run out and I will not worry about the cold and I will try to extend my running to a 15 minute stretch without stopping.
I am also looking into taking some spin classes. I really enjoy spin and I think spin classes will be a good way to mix things up a little, especially if the weather is bad. A lot of the spin studios I've looked into also have yoga or barre classes.
So that's my plan. I have 10 weeks until the 5K. Here I go...
