Back In 5K Training Mode

by Sue on January 14, 2008

So I’ve decided to get back into running, and decided to run another 5k. I started running again today, this morning actually, and it wasn’t so bad. I did about 1.22 miles in 15:03 minutes. Yeah, not my personal best, but the fact that I was able to get up and push myself to run in the morning is something I’m personally proud about!

Anyway, I’ve decided to run a 5k again to get myself back into running after a long hiatus. The last time I ran a 5k was back in September, and I definitely pushed myself training back then. Knowing that I was able to do it, gives me the encouragement to get back into it.

Will I be following a training program? Yes. I did the Couch to 5K program last time, but this time I’ll be doing the 5k training program from Runners World. I decided to try something different.

The race is on February 16, so I have about 5 weeks. Now that I have the Nike + iPod, it’s going to be easier for me to track my runs, as well as cooler weather outside. I’m pretty excited, but at the same hope that I can train as I did (but better) again.
