This is my place to retreat to when the world has worn me down. Writing is a form of release for me. Here I will collect the things that make me smile. The small moments that make life worth living. I don't expect anyone else to read this. Yet, if you do find yourself reading this feel free to let me know. Enjoy your stay as you see a bit of the world through my eyes.

Full Body - Workout 9 of 6 Week Challenge
5ks are fun. There is a 12k here that I walk in costume every May (which I don't do for time because people like to get pictures and I'm walking with people I convinced to get into costume too - so I let them set the pace).
I'm pretty sure the three of us will be walking the half-marathon. I should probably check with the other two to make sure. My goal is to be able to keep whatever pace they set (aka not be the one that slows our trio down). I'm not big on running (I'd rather sprint for a short while then run at a consistent pace for a longer while).
I was looking at the training program Nike has on their site to up my mileage to comfortably complete the half and found that the day of Bloomsday (my costumed 12k) I am scheduled to do 7 miles. So hooray! My 12k fits perfectly into my training schedule.

ReplyDeleteI agree with you on sprinting a short period then running a long period.
I will mostly walk the 5Ks but want to pick up the pace. My last 5K I walked in 56 minutes.
Have fun.
