Today I started week 3 of the Couch to 5k training program and it was actually not too bad, although I was having a tough time since I was jogging outside. I wanted to change it up and skipped the gym and ran amongst the elements. Since I live in South Florida, it’s not exactly running weather especially when the sun is still out around 5pm. I actually tried to run in the backyard with my dogs but that wasn’t helping since they were chasing me. 
So I ran up the block and then back.
Week 3 consists of the following:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then do two repetitions of the following:
- Jog 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Walk 200 yards (or 90 seconds)
- Jog 400 yards (or 3 minutes)
- Walk 400 yards (or three minutes)
I also did some arm exercises, before my run so from there I was totally ready to tackle the running challenge!
My name is Susan. When you think 'fitness' you think exercise and sweating. But there is more to life than that. Eating mindfully and being happy is also important. That is what this blog is all about.
