    Monday, Wednesday, Friday works best for me, but I'm gonna have to make tomorrow a do-over for today, I only got half way through the intervals before I stopped and walked the rest of the way.

    I would consider still giving yourself a rest day in between, however that's your choice. Listen to your body.

    I had to repeat a few weeks because I wasn't ready to continue, but I always gave my body some recovery time.

    Relax, be kind to yourself, and you'll end up enjoying this.

    Okay.. I figure if I'm going to give updates I should probably do it in my original post...

    So.. C25k W1D1 was a bust.. Due to my work schedule I was not able to make it to the gym before Zumba. I did however rock the house and shake my bootay for 60 intense minutes getting my heart rate prettty high!

    No excuse though... So Since I want Mon, Wed, Fri as my run days I'm going to officially start C25k on Monday 12/20. Until then here is what my weekend of fun looks like..

    Thursday - 1 to 2 hours of competitive Volleyball
    Friday - Working both of my jobs.. Cost Anaslyt by day (7:30am - 2pm) Bartender by night (5pm - 3am)
    Saturday - Family Christmas with my Boyfriends Family late morning early afternoon, Family Xmas with my Family Early Evening.
    Sunday - WorkOut in the morning and Friends Christmas in the early evening!
    Monday - Work 10 hrs and C25k W1D1

    Although I didn't actually perform C25k D1 I feel as though my cardio level and leg activity during Zumba may have been enough to be comparable to the c25k program. I will be doing D1 on Monday 12/20 so no worries! ;)

    WORK IT!!!

    Looks like I get some recovery time after all! Who's up for walking the same distance?

    Couch 2 5k Challenge - Week 1 Day 1: COMPLETE!!!

    I found it quite a stress relief to run yesterday! I did not struggle at all and I ended up running more than I walked. I know the instructions were to alternate walking 90s jogging 60s but toward the end I felt comfortable enough to run a little longer.

    Total Miles: 2

    After C25k I worked on my legs with the Nautilus Machines. That felt good!

    Week 1 Day 2: Wednesday 12/22.

    Tonight.... ZUMBA!!!!!! :)
