January Progress and February Goals

Update on my January Goal-

• Get to my goal weight

1. lose 5% of my current weight- I lost 2.5%
2. Gym 5x per week- Made it 3x per week
3. Cook at home 5 nights a week and eat leftovers for lunch- 100% other than planned lunches and the day I burnt up the oven

• Walk/Run/Crawl 1000 miles

1. complete week 1-4 of the Couch to 10K program – I completed week 1 and 2. I repeated week 2 during week 4 and I’m currently on week 3. 
2. walk 5 miles on a CT day – didn’t happen.  I tended to skip cross training days or Spin. 

• Build a 10K base

1. see #1 
2. #2 
3. its all about putting in the time

• Run a Sub 34 min 5K

1.   run at at a 5.5 mph pace when completing all Couch to 10K runs and 3.4+ mph when walking – 5.5 was really difficult this week (week 3) so I dropped it to 5.2 which was still tough, but I know were I’m at now.  11 min miles are going to be hard for me to build.  I’m going to have to start somewhere around 5.0 (12 min miles) and 5.2 (11:30 ish) and get faster with speed work.  I’m fine with that.
2. complete week 1-4 of the Couch to 10K program – I’m on week 3
