C25K Week 1 Day 1

Well, as I said last time, I decided to start the C25K program over again. I know I've lost something in the running department and I'm looking forward to gaining it back. For the first few weeks, at least, I'm going to try and push the speed a bit so I can hopefully increase my pace in the last few weeks. I'll probably be fluctuating as I try to figure out just where my body is right now.

I feel great after my first workout this week, though, which is exciting. My new running shoes felt amazing the entire time. I'll give them another couple of workouts to be sure, but I'm thinking these are a great fit for me.

So, here's how it all broke down today:
0.00-5.00 - 3.5 mph
5.00-6.00 - 6.5 mph
6.00-7.30 - 4.0 mph
7.30-8.30 - 6.5 mph
8.30-10.00 - 4.0 mph
10.00-11.00 - 6.5 mph
11.00-12.30 - 4.0 mph
12.30-13.30 - 6.5 mph
13.30-15.00 - 4.0 mph
15.00-16.00 - 6.5 mph
16.00-17.30 - 4.0 mph
17.30-18.30 - 6.5 mph
18.30-20.00 - 4.0 mph
20.00-21.00 - 6.5 mph
21.00-22.30 - 4.0 mph
22.30-23.30 - 6.5 mph
23.30-25.00 - 4.0 mph
25.00-30.00 - 3.5 mph

Total distance, 2.25 miles. This comes out to a 13:20 mile. It'll be a few weeks before my running outweighs my walking enough to be hitting average paces below 12 minutes, but it's a goal I'm looking forward to meeting.

It's a nice day here, cool and windy, excellent for outdoor activities if one is so inclined. Wherever you are, I hope you are able to find a place indoors or out in which to be active.
