Getting Back Into the Swing of Things

I started the Couchto5K running program on Monday. It's a 3 days a week program where you basically run/walk intervals and at the end of 8 weeks you'll be able to run a 5K without stopping. The first day was pretty easy overall. I didn't understand what I was supposed to be doing for the 5 minute warm-up and I actually wore myself out too early but I still finished the 30 minute workout. The second day, which I did on Wednesday, was not as easy. I had done the first day on Monday and I was still excruciatingly sore on Wednesday doing day two. It wasn't easy but I pushed through. Let me tell you, I was feeling it about 15 minutes in though. 

Tomorrow is day 3. I'm still sore from days 1 and 2 so I'm sure tomorrow will be a little rough but I'm looking forward to it. I enjoy my time in the mornings when I get up and run. It gives me 30 minutes to myself to clear my head. Most of you probably already know this, but for those who don't, my husband and I work together. We also spend every minute outside of work together. We have the same friends for the most part and we play co-ed softball together on Sundays. We are together 24/7, 365, so my mornings that I get up and run are a nice little break to have time to myself.
