Week 1 done....

So Saturday, me and Ron finished the last run in week 1 of the couch potato training schedule (4 days a week). We're also half way through phase 1 of the strength and conditioning workout. We're feeling great and this week we will be doing 4 days a week worth of running and 3 of those days accompanied with the strength training. Tomorrow is weigh in day, so we'll see if we have lost any thing. I have no doubt Ron has lost weight from the week. For me, well we shall see. =P Also this coming weekend we will try to jog together on a trail instead of the treadmill to see how his body reacts -- i.e. back or knee pains.

With the strength and conditioning workouts I've noticed I'm getting a lot stronger and increasing in weights which is a great motivator. We've decided on a 5k run in the beginning of October located in La Jolla, CA. The race info can be found at www.coastwisemile.com. It should be a fairly flat run so it should be great for beginners who have just got into running. And since it's in San Diego, it should be nice weather for the start of Fall. More posts tomorrow after weigh in.

Happy Running! =)
