A small victory
Some of you know I am working my through the "Couch to 5k" program
Finished week 5 day 3. Perhaps it was a bit of a cheat ;-)
I did the warm up by walking up a large hill and then jogged the 20min primarily down hill. My heart rate hit 187 (I'm 42.) Then I walked up another hill for about 20 minutes and jogged 13 minutes (which equaled a mile) with my heart rate up to about 175 (which is the upper limit usually.)
All in all I jogged about 2.5 miles and walked an additional 3 miles on lovely trails. Here's a photo from the top of the first hill (taken a couple of months ago)
( pic under the cut )
So excited to have broken this barrier; I've been in week 5 for a while. Had to share!
