Couch 2 5K: Week 8

I cannot believe I have been "running" for 2 MONTHS!! 

Valentines day was this week and my supportive hubby got me new running shoes for the special day!


This week was a good!! 



The first two runs I did:
Walk 5 minutes
Run 3 minutes
Walk 2 minutes
Run 4 30 minutes
Walk 2 minutes 30 seconds
Run 3 minutes
Walk 2 minutes
Run 4 minutes 30 seconds
Walk 5 minutes

On Saturday I was just planning on doing what I did the other 2 days but Misa was home and he suggested I try five minutes and we would do it together. I agreed to try it so I finally after 4 weeks shifted my workout to the suggested "week 5" run.
Walk 5 minutes
Run 5 minutes
Walk 3 minutes
Run 5 Minutes
Walk 3 minutes
Run 5 minutes
Walk 5 minutes

and I DID IT!!!
I felt sooooooooooooo accomplished at the end of it!! I have been doing this now long enough that I know when I push myself how great it makes me feel afterward and I also know when I do not push myself enough how I feel. I am starting to like running and can see myself even maybe loving it eventually!  I feel great and I am sleeping better at night.  I like the discipline I have in doing it and I feel more balanced and not on a "roller coaster" of highs and lows I have lived in recent years!

I feel I can think more clearly and feel even more focused on God. I have really learned to love christian music and really feel close it God when I run. My favorite running song this week is "It is Well" by Chris Tomlin.
