08/24/11 Couch to 5K jog at Garmin Connect - Details

 

So I just got back from my evening jog. Yay! I did it!

 

Again I used the Couch to 5K app for the iPhone tonight.  I also played my Pandora stations/music while on my run.  I covered 3.26 miles in 45:51 mins and burned 313 calories.  Not bad.  All I can do at this point is get better and improve over the time.  I feel good about myself and my accomplishment.  I know that by finding/making the time to do this, I set an example for my 4 kids and I improve my overall health. 

 

Okay, that's enough.  Need to shower. I'm drenched, it's been warm out these last few nights. Later.

 

Stay healthy friends.

So, I decided I needed to get out "there" and get off my duff, no more excuses!

I downloaded the "Couch to 5k" app for my iphone and decided today was the day to start using it. It had me jog 1 min and walk 1min 30 secs, I didn't officially finish the day 1's cool down, so it didn't accept my day as complete. Dang it. So, I continued on to day 2 , or so I thought! The total time per day was to be 25 mins each day. Luckily, I had my Garmin device with me and was able to see that I ended up doing 3.44 miles in 47 minutes time with lots of walking, but NO stopping. So proud of myself. I really need to get back in shape. I have my 20 yr reunion next month AND I go back to Honolulu in December and had already bought a new bikini to wear. I NEED to fit that new bikini!!!

I plan on trying to move more. Wish me luck.

Until next time, stay healthy!
