Well… Week Five of the Couch-to-5k running program is in the books, and I’ve already embarked on Week Six. Once again, I did the workouts on Sun/Tues/Thur instead of Mon/Wed/Fri, and I’m starting to feel like that’s a pretty good groove. I think I’ll stick with the new schedule, at least for the time being.
Sunday afternoon was pretty uneventful, and not all that challenging. According to RunKeeper, I covered 2.50 miles and burned 291 calories. I topped it off by chopping some wood, and ultimately wore myself out.
Tuesday morning went well, though I was still dealing with some from the wood chopping. I covered 2.53 miles, and burned 298 calories. That evening, I walked an additional 2.25 miles during my son’s soccer practice.
Finally, on Thursday I completed the 20 minute run and covered a total of 2.54 miles and burned 306 calories. I then on Friday and cranked out an hour on the elliptical on Saturday.
All in all, it was a good week.
