Today I went to the gym, taking full advantage of the time that funemployment affords me! I started out with Couch to 10k, Week 5 Day 1 (out of a 14-week program). I’m going to try to pick up my pace a little bit; today I started at 5.5 for the running portions, increasing up to 6.0 for a minute at a time.
I have a new app too – 10K for Pink. As much as I appreciated the podcasts from Kissmyblackass.org, I needed new music! My own music! This new app uses my own playlists, but I can’t seem to get verbal cues when my iPod auto-locks. Maybe I have to buy the paid app for that feature.
I also did P90X Chest & Back. I’ve discovered that using the worksheets only rather than the DVDs or the app, I can get the workout done in ~35 minutes. I just max out my reps and move on. I do miss the Hortonisms a bit though.
Have a great week!
My top speed is 5.0 and I don’t do it that often. I am not even sure I could do a P90X workout, but now that my run is done, I’m going to branch out a bit. Great workout!
🙂 “funemployment.” Fantastic!
Awesome! I’m impressed! I like working out to music too! Helps pass the time.
I run so slow.. I would die at 5.0… thats awesome! Good for you :). I use the Couch to 5k PINK and I find sometimes it works, sometimes it doesnt..I still love the app though.
I wish I could be your funemployment buddy for workouts, alone! Great job and I look forward to being able to say I’m training for a 10K!
I keep hearing about these running apps that let your music play and also cue you when to run or walk, are they only for ipod do you know? I should see if I can find one for my phone because that would be awesome instead of having a cheat sheet post it note stuck on my treadmill lol sounds like you had a great workout!!!
The Run for Pink 10K app is available for android too!
