Couch 2 5K: Week 9

This was my 9th week of my running quest!

What a GREAT week! I officially LOVE running!





That does not mean it is easy for me, it just means when I finish my runs I feel great and I am actually looking forward to the next run!

My progress this week:
RUN 1:
Walk 5

Walk 3

Walk 5

Run 2:
It was a really nice day so I decided to run at the lake again. According the weather.com the wind was not too bad and I texted a running friend that runs at the lake and asked if I should go for it.  Well, little did I know that the wind a my house and the wind at the lake are not the same even though I am only 4 miles away! I decided to give it a try anyways and when I finished I looked on my phone only to see that the wind was 25 mph and because I have NO concept of N-S-E-W I never know where to run to not have the wind at my back or feel like I am running in a wind tunnel!

Anyways...

Run 3:
I have started to enjoy pushing myself each run so I looked at the program and it suggested that I run for 8 minutes!
I talked myself into trying it and my cousin-in-law Brooke suggested that I try this new Pre-Workout Drink Made my Vegan Sport (And yes! It is Daniel Plan Approved!)

       I really think it made a difference in how much I was able to do!

I felt this week was a week of running victories. I love only focusing on the current run and not thinking about the next one until it is over.  It once again reminds me of my recover journey:
 "One Day at a Time, One Moment at a time" only "One run at a time, One step at a time."
