How I did it
How to run a 5k race
It took me
2 months
It made me
accomplished

How I did it: I started training with the Couch 2 5K running plan. I did this for about 9 weeks before running my first 5k. It was a great experience, I ended up finishing at 36 minutes and feeling great. For those who get bored running, it is very different in a race setting, and usually you are in a new environment to keep you interested. Running is now my favourite form of exercise, and I am working my way towards 10k. Read how I did it…

It took me
23 years
It made me
happier

How I did it: There's not too much to it - in time, I realized life is what you make of it. Yeah, some unexpected and unfortunate things will come along, but take them as they come and don't spend your life fearing the worst. Read how I did it…

I should really start weighting myself.. 14 months ago

I don’t even own a scale. Part of me just wants to judge my weight by how I look and feel, and how my clothes fit – not a number on the scale.

I’ve been doing intense exercise for 4 weeks now. I would say I’ve lost a few lbs, especially on my thighs and around my torso. Probably 3 lbs. Wish I weighed myself before-hand to actually know if I’ve lost. Then again, my clothes are fitting better, everything is firming up, I feel a lot better.. so that’s a good sign, right?

Run a 5k race (read all 3 entries…)
Can't quite do 5k yet.. 14 months ago

Well, I am doing couch to 5k, so I am only on week 4. 5K still seems a bit intimidating, as I’m basically doing 15 minute miles (running and walking). I guess the main thing is that I finish.

I’m hoping it won’t quite take 45+ mins though…

Almost every day I complete a full 2 miles though (3k)- I can feel my cardio and body’s tolerance building up.

exercise more (read all 5 entries…)
Week 4 14 months ago

I am on week 4 of C25K (c25k.com).

It is challenging, but now I can run for 5 minutes straight with no problems. My asthma doesn’t even act up anymore.

It feels like a really good workout. Everything is toning up (some light weight work a few times a week helps with this too) – my stomach is flat, I have more energy. I just need to focus on getting a good amount of sleep on a regular basis.
