This week marks the beginning of week 4 of my 5K training. This is when it starts to get interesting!! The runs get longer and you're actually running more than half of the time!
Here's what week 4 of 5K training looks like:
Brisk Warm-up Walk~ 5 min
Run 3 min
Walk 1.5 min
Run 5 min
Walk 2.5 min
Run 3 min
Walk 1.5 min
Run 5 min
Today wasn't that bad, especially since I ran a mile on Sunday. Although, I was pretty tired because I literally ran the night before. Also, my knees are getting a little sore, probably because I need new shoes, which I plan on buying this weekend. I didn't really give myself a break from running this week...oops. Normally I use the elliptical on cross-training days but I was kind of sick of it, so I stuck to running! So as far as weight loss goes, I only lost .6 lbs this week. I attribute that to a couple bad food choices as well as muscle gain. My body comp scale says I gained a good amt of muscle so I'm not worried. As long as I keep up with my calorie counting and exercise I know I'll be fine.
Now for the stats!
Pounds lost this week ~ .6lbs
Total pounds lost ~ 15.2 lbs
Pounds left til my prepregnancy weight with Jackson ~ 4 lbs
Pounds left til my Valentine's Day goal ~ 4.8 lbs
Pounds left til my 10% goal ~ 5.7 lbs
