8-week training to a 10K!

I found an 8-week training calendar in my fitness magazine for those who want to run a 10K! So I thought, "Why not?"

Plus it would be perfect timing for the 10K Smokey Bear Run in Oakhurst that might and I talked about doing.

So yesterday started the first day. On the agenda? Rest day! WOO HOO! This is easier than I thought, LOL.

Today was a 15-20 minute walk/run - walk for 2 minutes, run for 2 minutes. I think I was more or less jogging during the run part but it was faster than walking!

I got up at 5am to get the run in before it turned into 105 degrees! It was actually very pleasant and I opted to run around the neighborhood instead of the gym. It was nice and quiet and I really got into it.

When I got home I jumped on the Wii and did my workout for the Biggest Loser - 18 minutes of "light" yoga. Let me tell you - there's nothing light about yoga! Ava got up when I was almost done with my workout and she enjoyed doing some "stretches" with me on the Wii Balance Board. I should have taken a picture because it was the cutest thing ever.

Then I had scrambled eggs and an english muffin (with water) for breakfast. Matt went grocery shopping yesterday and got some great staples for me to bring to work: avocado, apples, cottage cheese, yogurt, etc.

Tomorrow is cross-training (I plan to do the elliptical at the gym). No exercises are scheduled for the biggest loser.
