It’s the weekend! Unexpectedly, I have Monday and Tuesday off (that’s the life of a temp for you) so it’s a long weekend for me!
Yesterday was a 10ish-mile hike in the Angeles National Forest. Since it was a sunny day, I thought the Gabrielino trail would be good since most of it was inside the forest and a lot cooler. It was a lovely hike and a beautiful day! There were a few unshaded portions of the trail which exposed us to stunning vistas like this.
Today I went to the gym and did Couch-to-5K, Week 6 Day 1. I did the running portions at 5.7 on the treadmill! I usually jog at 5.0. I’m very excited to be improving at speed and stamina. I jumped in at Week 4 since I’d completed this program last summer, and I can still keep up. This Couch-to-5K program works.
After my run, I did the Blogilates Stretching video and Blogilates Intense Abs. I will master Intense Abs. I WILL.
I’m still not loving running. But when I’m done with it, I’m happy and energized for the entire day. And I love the feeling of accomplishment.
I think this upcoming 10K will not be the disaster I’m fearing after all!
Good for you girlie! You’re doing awesome with C25K! I love that feeling after a good workout, you’re right…it is so energizing 🙂 your hike sounds beautiful, glad you had a great weekend!!
10ish mile hike, crazy! That is awesome! Thanks so much for sharing and linking up. Definitely motivating!
