Monday - Couch to 5K/Classical Stretch

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

My workout today was Couch to 5K, Week 2, Workout # 3 - since I do my Friday workout as a long walk w/ my friend, I only get 2 Couch to 5Ks in a week, which I'm ok with. I'm really in no hurry to finish the program, right now it is just something different for me to do for cardio. I stayed on the TM until I hit 3 miles which was around the 35 min mark. I move on to week # 3 later this week which has longer running intervals....I think I will do ok. This program is very good for progressing slowly and steadily. I also added on Classical Stretch - a recorded episode from PBs from Season 7. It was a good one - a bit of everything but some nice work at the barre for hip flexors and hamstrings, which is one of my favorite CS moves. I'm happy to say I'm noticing a huge difference from doing CS regularly. My back is much looser and I'm not having any issues at all w/ my hips/hip flexors. Yay!Hope everyone else is having a good day! I get to

leave work early today - I have to pick DD up from school since DH is out of town for the day and since I"m home this afternoon she is going to have a friend over. It will be nice for her. I really feel the need to have a nice mental health day - I'm just so in need of a day w/ no work, no chores, no nothing! Talk to everyone later!Donna

Great job Donna! I know how it feels to need a "mental health" day...sometimes I want to do something fun with people sometimes I want to be by myself and do NOTHING! JenSubject: Monday - Couch to 5K/Classical StretchTo: exercisevideos , FitFirmies Date: Monday, February 13, 2012, 10:09 AM

Hi Donna,

I'm glad your back is going so well, that's great! It sounds like the pace of your C25K program is working well too. I hope you can fit in a mental health day soon!!
