Decided to start training for a 5k again using the Galloway method. More importantly just registered for Run Like a Diva (Half Marathon) and 5K in October in Long Island with an ultimate goal of running a half sometime in 2014.
I mentioned in a previous post that I'm struggling to get back into exercise mode. It was around this time last year that I jumped into the fitness center at work. Course I'm having the Its been a year and I'm no better syndrome. But things are different now. To some extent better and I'd like to improve my time from 48 minutes last October to hopefully no more than 35 this go around.
Think what helped me with with going to the gym last time was training for the 5k Granted I'd love to be aggressive and say ill be ready for a half in six months but I know myself well enough that I have a better chance of quitting than working overtime to meet the commitment.
From what I understand the Galloway method trains you on interval running rather than just timed running. So from day one your working on speed and distance I believe. My last attempt at training I was really training exclusively for distance..not speed.
I'm also feeling positive about being lighter by then and using training as my post surgery exercise break through. And want to strength again. Still toying with going back to the trainer at work or getting turbo jam or (the dreaded) insanity!
We will see. Hubby is going to start playing football again twice a week and I'm ready to get passionate again about my fitness lifestyle. I felt so much better when I was moving. And we agreed morning workouts seem to be the way to go given our long commute yo work. It's almost 6 am and I am working from home today so I should probably pop in a Zumba DVD and get a burn in before breakfast. But.... No buts! Think I'm going to do it. Now.
Will check back in later.
