Today I did the unthinkable - I got up early enough to go to the gym BEFORE WORK. It helped that Wilbur wanted to go swimming too. He doesn't need to Uncover His Inner Athlete, he wears his Athlete on the outside.
I'm doing a hybrid of the Couch to 5K and Hal Higdon's Novice 5K Training Program. Today I walked for 5 minutes, and then did intervals of 90 seconds of running and 60 seconds of walking for 25 minutes, and then walked for an additional 10 minutes at a nice clip to get me to 1.65 miles. I did 2 miles on Saturday and Sunday doing the opposite interval - 60 seconds running, 90 seconds walking.
I walked a 5K back in November and did pretty well for a walker - 50 minutes. I'm shooting for the Moonlight Run 5K in New Milford.
As far as weight training, today was a rest day. My triceps and hamstrings are pretty sore.
The goal tomorrow is to get up early enough to hit the gym before work again (if I do it, it will be BEYOND miraculous) and do my chest, back and leg stuff before my 5K training.
Food wise, today was pretty clean, but not as clean as it could have been. I worked through lunch and hit up the vending machine for a buttered roll and a Chobani yogurt. Breakfast was a high protein smoothie from the gym and dinner was perch and roasted red potatoes.
I am still really craving chocolate. I need to find a way to satisfy the chocolate jones without going overboard.
