It took a while to get to these but here are some photos from Rehoboth. We spent a few days there with Larui’s sisters after Jaimi and Jeremy’s wedding.

C25K Week 5, Run 1

Linda — Sat, 24 Sep 2011 12:45:06 +0000

The first run of week 5 turned out to be not too much trouble, at least not as much as I feared. I was tired after the last run segment but not exhausted. Run 2 is the same distance but more running and less walking so hopefully that one will turn out well also.

C25K Week 4, Run 2

I made it through run 2 without incident this time and to my surprise faster than Wednesday’s run. My heart rate was down for this one also. Here’s hoping Sundays’ run goes as well as this one!

C25K Week 4, Run 1 Again

Linda — Wed, 14 Sep 2011 23:45:12 +0000

I started week 4 over because I had trouble with the 2nd run and then missed a week thanks to weather and lots of commitments. Fortunately, the rest seemed to help and my legs felt great for today’s run.

C25K, Week 4, Run 1

The first run of week 4 is in the books! The first half mile segment wasn’t bad but the second was was much, much harder. Looks like I ran the first one too quickly and was too tired at the end. Guess I need to work on pacing.

C25K Week 3, Run 3

Linda — Sat, 03 Sep 2011 13:33:19 +0000

I’m now 1/3 through Couch To 5K and this was probably the best run yet. I paced myself better and so didn’t really get tired through the runs. As a result, it was my best overall pace. More importantly was that It was a sustainable pace, unlike Wednesday where the pace of the first run made me very tired through the subsequent runs.

If I compare this run to the the first run there are some notable differences in heart rate. My average heart rate has come down 15 bpm and my max heart rate come down slightly. Though I wouldn’t call myself a runner yet, I can definitely see a difference in the way my heart feels. It’s my legs that get tired before I run out of breath at the moment.

Next week ups the ante with 1/2 mile run segments, double what this week had so hopefully that improved heart fitness will pay off then!

C25K Week 3, Run 2

Linda — Wed, 31 Aug 2011 23:51:24 +0000

Difficulties returned on this run, but I think they were self-induced. It looks like I ran the first run segment much faster than on Monday and my legs didn’t want to cooperate on the following segments, especially the longer sections. However, I was able to push through them.

My difficulties on Friday’s run did not recur. I had no trouble with any of the run segments though the last one did prove a bit challenging. I felt good throughout the run and am looking forward to Wednesday’s workout.

C25K Week 2, Run 3

Linda — Sat, 27 Aug 2011 11:40:35 +0000

For reasons unknown this run proved to be harder to do even though it was the same routine as the other week 2 runs. I was slower and my heart rate was up. My legs felt tired throughout the run.

Starting with the second run things slowed down dramatically. My legs felt like lead and it was hard to push through the runs. This was the first of the runs where I really had to push. Hopefully things will be back to normal on Monday for the first of the week 3 runs.
