SO! I did start the 5K 101 program tonight. And I gotta say...I LOVE it! Something like 5 minutes brisk walk warm up, then four intervals of 2 minute run and 3 minute walk. End with another 5 minute cool down.
Now, when I say that I'm not a runner, I hope you guys realize that I mean "I'm not a runner." Running 0.5 miles hurts. I get stitches in my side, my knees hurt, my chest burns. Tonight though, when I went through the running program it seemed like I was working, but at the same time I wasn't dying. At some point in the third set I started to feel the stitch come back in my side, but just like the dude said, it was only two minutes and I could recover correctly in the three minutes of walking.
I'm really hoping that this program works! Even though it says "give yourself a day to rest" I'm going to try and do this every day as part of my cardio workout.
In other news, I'm also starting to get into RPM/Spinning. I'm going to try and make that the class I go to every Wednesday. I meet with Evan for weights on Wednesday and then afterwards I'll go to RPM.
And EXCITING news -- well, kinda. Last week I went to the Zumba class with Jill. I've been meaning to go for awhile, but Zumba is offered generally when I'm teaching or when I'm in class. Therefore, there are few times that I'm actually able to go. Anyway, Thursdays at 7pm is Zumba and this week NOT ONLY are Jill and I going, but so is Kristina and Courtney and Melissa.
I'm stoked. Fitness is catching on. :)
