Week 5, Day 1

Monday, February 22, 2021 ~ When I first got to the YMCA this morning, I was NOT feeling it. My monthly "visitor" had arrived, and I was just feeling bleh! I checked Ollie in at the Child Watch and was thinking I would skip the 5K workout and just walk. Once I stepped on the treadmill, I said "No, you gotta do this!" I got my headphones connected, and got going. This week's workout goes like this: 5 minute warm up walk, 5 minute run followed by a 3 minute walk. Repeat 3 times. It was tough! I wasn't sure if I'd be able to finished the last 5 minute run; my legs were so tired. But I did it! I was a sweaty mess after. I'm always encouraged after I finish each workout. This one especially! I was encouraged to see the progress I've made. Running 5 minutes straight without stopping, three times. I'm also thankful that my knee has felt ok the last few workouts. On to the next one!
