Week 6, Day 1 - Couch to 5K Running Program

I am still feeling sick.  I can't seem to shake this cold.  From what I hear this bug sticks around for a few weeks.  Oh joy!

I am not going to let it stop me from running.  I have been working so hard and I don't want to fall behind.  I plan to just keep a steady pace and not push too hard

Today it is a series of 5 minute runs mixed with an 8 minute run.  This should be doable after Saturday's 20 minute run!

Warm up: 5 - 10 minutes Static Stretching:

• Hip Flexors
• Quads
• Calves
• Adductors (inner thighs)
• Hamstrings

• 5:00 minutes running

I was able to get through this just fine.  I ran 1 extra 5 minute interval and started on the 8 minute interval when I decided to stop.  My nose kept stuffing up and I had to stop and blow it.  It is hard to run if you can't breathe, sigh!
