Runners Recap

Good morning ladies! It's that time of week again!

 How was everyone's past week of training?  Any challenges you faced? Or rewarding moments along the way?

What is your plan for this week?

Are you including diet changes along with your exercise plan?

 

Yesterday was my first 5k since completing c25k, and I am happy to report that I have a new PR (personal record) for that distance. My very first 5k was 34:27 and yesterday I finished in 33:30! So a minute faster than I was a couple years ago. My next goal is to do the Great Race 5k this fall  at a 10 min/mile pace!

I also attended my first level1/level2 yoga class rather than the basics class I had been frequenting. That provided me with all kids of new challenges. But also inspiring to see others in the class with such great form! 

This week I will probably start the Hal Higdon novice 10k plan to increase my endurance and mileage.

    Last week was my first week of C25K. I ran Monday, Tuesday and Thursday. I was excited on day 1 that I didn't die! Haha! It wasn't bad and similar to what I have been doing. So that was rewarding! I also did Zumba twice la

  • Also, I have a question - when running in public, are you supposed to say hi/smile/nod to every runner you pass?  When I ran yesterday, there seemed to be an equal mix of people saying hi/not saying hi.  Is there a runner's etiquette?  I do
  • Congratulations Amanda! That is great.

    I did week 1 last week, it reinforced my non-love of running. Although I do better when I go to either Millvale Park and run the trail or North Park.

    But I also went to class three times last week
