I now have a bit of momentum and it feels pretty good. I was able to do the training all 3 days this past week and able to run 5 minutes without stopping and without knee pain. Amazing to me on both accounts. I must say, I did pat myself on the back, just a little bit (and treated myself to Girl Scout cookies)!
The next hurdle, 8 minutes, still seems extremely daunting though. I know we should expect more cold and rain to come, it is only March after all. But, two days of training without a layer of long underwear felt pretty good. Spring is definitely on its way and I couldn’t be more excited.
Of course, for me, the coming of the warmer weather is a double edged sword as we are now less than 3 months from our annual fundraising dinner and auction on June 17th. More details coming to our website on that soon!
Although our couch to 5K trainers continue to make progress and gain strength and stamina, our fundraising efforts have stalled a bit. A big shout out to everyone who has donated so far. If you haven’t supported us yet, now would be a great time as it certainly will help keep us motivated for that 8 minute, 10 minute, 15 minute run coming up in the next couple of weeks!
If you are already a 5Ker and don’t need help getting off the couch, why not register to run/walk with us? No additional training needed.
If you’re really not interested participating in the 5K, you may certainly be a part of our fundraising efforts (and my team of encouragers) by donating. If you’d like to offer me encouragement by supporting MEOW, you may donate via my Facebook or Network for Good fundraising page. Thanks!
