Training for a 5K through C25K program; Weight Training NROLFW

So, I decided to give another go at the Couch 2 5K program, after meeting with some nappturals a few weeks ago. I've started this program twice. This is the third try. Today will be Week 2 Day 2 for me. So far so good. The difference between this time and my past attempts, is that I actually signed up for a 5K!!! So I mean business!

My 5K race is on December 12, 2010. That doesn't give me enough time to complete the program, but I figured by that time I should be able to hold my own in a 5K race. I'll sign up for another one after I complete the program to improve my time. My goal for this race is to finish in under 45min. I think its doable since my last run (Week 2 Day 1) I did 2.33 miles in 30min. That's only week 2!

My goal is to workout 5 days a week. Three of those days are dedicated to training for the 5K and the other two days are for weight training. I'm following a program in a book called New Rules of Lifting for Women. It's a great book! The workouts are quick and effective. Unfortunately, I haven't been good about keeping up with them. But that changes now.

My diet, well, it could be MUCH better. I need to start drinking shakes! Those are quick, easy, and nutritional. Also being a pescetarian, makes things quite interesting when trying to keep things interesting (and healthy) in the kitchen. All in all, I see it as a great challenge!

Back to Blogging...

Man, it's been forever since I've posted here. I'm getting back to it, even if nobody reads!

Ok, so I'm starting my MBA program January 2011. Yay! Trying to purchase a home, which is more involved than I anticipated, and just trying to get into better shape. In other words, I'm all over the place.

I'll be better about blogging though. I'll be blogging about school, working out, and the home buying process. Well, and any other thing that catches my interest. So, be on the look out for more posts :-D
