5k Training – Week 2

Leave a comment / sassy sunday

Happy Sassy Sunday Honey Bees!

This week I was not as tired during my workouts. I also was not as sore, which was a relief.

Tuesday: Legs – Treadmill – 16 minutes
Wednesday: chest & back – stair master
Thursday: biceps, triceps, shoulders – treadmill –  19 minutes
Saturday: 2 miles – outside

Week three will finish out the remainder of March.

I have to be honest, some days are a struggle for me to get to the gym.That is why I pack my bag the night before or in the morning and place it in my car. After work, I head to the gym. This is the only method that works for me. I have tried coming home, then changing into workout clothes, and easily start doing ANYTHING other than getting back into my car to go workout.

Find out what works for you. Maybe you are an early birdie and like to leave your evenings to other activities. An early morning sweat is best if this fits your lifestyle.

The days when my energy is low, I remind myself how much better I will feel after my workout. It helps my mind as much as it helps my body.

Make time for yourself this week. Even if it is ten minutes a day to take a break from everyday hustle and just be PRESENT. Take a breath and just be in the moment.

Until next time,

5k Training – Week 1

Leave a comment / sassy curls

Hi Honey Bees,

If you follow me on instagram or snapchat (@sassy_curls), you already know that I have decided to train for a 5k.

The last time I ran a 5k was in 2012. https://sassycurls.com/2012/08/ I know, time to change that. This time around, I am training alone.

I am sharing my journey on my social media platforms. I knew that announcing my desire to train again, I would not quit or choose to postpone the training. We have heard it all before, always set your goals with a deadline.

I have six weeks until the race. I signed up for the timed group. This event I hope will build up my competitive spirit again and act as a confidence builder, so I can train for a 10k in October.

Week one of training consisted of:

Tuesday: run 10 mins – treadmill | weights & stretch
Wednesday: 30 mins stair master, weights, abs, stretch
Thursday: run 13 mins – treadmill
Friday: 30 mins stair master, weights, abs, stretch
Saturday: 1 mile – outside
Sunday: cardio, sauna

These ham hocks that I call thighs, have not felt this sore in awhile. Getting out of bed was a chore today. I literally feel every muscle in my body.

I would rather feel the soreness and the pain now, than be the last one through the finish line.

Until next time,
