Rest

I'm looking forward to when this gets easier. I'm looking forward  To when my current 'workout' becomes my warm-up. I'm a bit sore from yesterday and the glow of excitement has worn off. 

This is where the rubber meets the road. Do I have what it takes? I know I do. I know I can do this. It all comes down to hard work now. 

I've set some new goals for myself. I want to run the 5k in under 30 minutes. This changes my training from 3 days a week to 6 days a week (Sundays off) and either Wednesday or Thursday cross training. That way I can work myself up to 5k distance a few weeks before the race and then begin increasing my speed. 

I want to focus on improving my flexibility because I feel that will help me run more efficiently and help prevent injuries. 

I want to begin eating more conscientiously with a focus on vegetables and lean protein. This should help my body be able to function at it's highest ability. I'll accomplish this by recording my food choices for the day.
