Torture

Yes, that's what I call it.....pure D torture with a capital T!!

I started W4 Day 1 in the Cto5K program today.  I was sooo dreading it too.  I didn't want to do it honestly but I put the two youngest down for a nap, asked God to help me and give me strength, and I got on the torturemill treadmill.  This is what I am working on this week :

Brisk five-minute warm up walk, then:

• Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)
• Walk 1/4 mile (or 2-1/2 minutes)
• Jog 1/4 mile (or 3 minutes)
• Walk 1/8 mile (or 90 seconds)
• Jog 1/2 mile (or 5 minutes)

I was worried about the 5 minute sections. I haven't run that long consecutively....ever.....well maybe in high school when I was a cheerleader or at p.e. , but NEVER as an adult.  A chubby adult at that.

Even though my calve muscles felt like they had 100lb cinder blocks attached to them towards the end, I DID IT!!! And went ahead and did an extra mile too = 3 miles. YAYNESS!!  Thank you Lord! 

Ok, I'm going to crash now.  :)

Happy Day Ya'll!
