Ahhhh….yes….
JULY 5TH 2012!!!!
That is when the upcoming Firecracker 5K is coming to town. And I’m going to do it!!!!!!
I don’t know if it’s considered a marathon, but for me running 1/2 a mile is a marathon.
So yeah, I can jog about .25 miles…. not far at all….
3.1 miles.
I’ve looked up a couch to 5K thingie plan and I’m going to give it a go.
I’ve got about 17 weeks until the event…. so I’ve gotta get working on it
The workout plan I found intends for you to get to a 5K in 9 weeks. Going out 3 times a week for 9 weeks. So I’m thinking of just doubling the steps.
Like Week 1 is
Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes
3 times a week…. so if I figure if I do that for two weeks (6 times)….. get it?
I’m just going to do each week twice….I’ll be one week over….
Now if I go 4 times a week it’ll cut off a couple of weeks…. so we’ll se how it goes.
I’m probably going to start on a treadmill (GRRRRR) only because there is too much snow to actually go out and try to jog….
So we’ll see….
Wish me luck!!!!!
