Week 5

I'm now in week 5 of the couch challenge. It keeps getting harder but I'm trusting the plan. We have been going to the track which is nice b/c I know the distance but I feel that my pace is getting slower and slower.It took me about 45 mins to complete today when the plan shows 26 mins. I jogged 1.5 miles and walked .5 miles. Plus a lap for warm up.

Ok, let's break this out. The average walking speed is 20 min per mile. I did 2 miles in 40 mins not including the warm up. So, my jog is an average walking speed. Ahh! Ok. Let's take this one step at a time. I'm going to first work on my distance each week. Then when I reach week 10 I'll start on my pace. The average jog is 10 min per mile.

I look forward to next Monday's time.
