Couch to 5K

I may be doing great with my JM workouts but my couch to 5k jogging plan is going slow. Actually it is almost non-exsistent. I have realized that I do not like jogging. I would rather walk for one mile than jog for 1/4 mile. I'm not sure what it is that I don't like but I just don't like it. On Saturday my sister and I decided to do a local 5k here in Bayfield that they had for Easter. It was a tough one for sure. There were a lot of hills and I was only able to run about 1/2 of it. That's good I guess since 2 months ago I couldn't run at all. I will continue to walk and maybe add some bursts of jogging in just to mix it up but I do not see a future for me in running. Good things there is a lot of other types of exercise to do!

    Wendy, I enjoy reading your blog and I think that the biggest thing to remember is that you have to like what you're doing at least a little bit. :) I hate running. I do it occasionally, because sometimes I find it necessary, but I definitely think the most important thing is small progress and finding something you like. I don't like aerobic classes, or anything remotely close to them, but I enjoy hiking, riding my bike, kettlebell classes and now crossfit. I think everyone has something different that they like to do and I think its good for you to figure that out. I think we have so many awesome trails around here, and I love getting out on them in the summer because there are so many things I don't get to see otherwise. I think its awesome that you are exploring your options but also that you are figuring out what works for you personally, because in the end, you're the one that has to make the commitment and the decisions. Nice work so far. I think its inspiring and awesome. :)

    Thank you! I am finding so many other things that I like more than running so I will try those. Bayfield has some ladies offering belly dancing workouts. LOL! I'm definitely going to try those out!!
