c25k: done
On October 30, 2009, I finished my Couch to 5K training program. That’s right… I’m officially (kinda) a runner! More of a runner than I’ve ever been in my life. I can run 3 miles. Non-stop. And I am so ridiculously proud of myself.
I still remember when I first started the program and I would itch SO BADLY. All over my body. It was like chicken pox with a vengeance. And apparently it’s a real issue (and I’m not just a mess).
Nine weeks later, I have overcome the itchiness and my general laziness. So – where do I go from here?
Here’s what I’m thinking: Use the month of November as my “general running” month. I won’t start on my half-marathon training yet – I’ll put that off until December. Things I need to work on this month are:
- Hills. Hills. Hills.
- Increasing my speed – just a bit.
- RUNNING OUTSIDE.
I promise to get this done. Especially the running outside thing. I’ve been avoiding that like the plague.
It’s time to step up my game. Only 139 days, 7 hours and 33 minutes until my 13.1 mile run.
