it's that time

My weight has slowly crept up on me... I am now 155 lbs I tell sean 150. WOW standing at 5 ft 2 inches I am overweight, the muffin tops are in full force. I have been wanting to run a 5k for the past year and never followed thru. I found a race it's the Tucson 500 and it's on Sunday, May 16th. So there you have it I found a nice training plan:


Week 1:Day 1: 5/1 x 5 (5 minutes run, 1 minute walk x 5, for a total of 30 minutes) Day 2: 5/1 x 5 Day 3: 6/1 x 5 Day 4: 40-45 min cross-training
Week 2:Day 1: 7/1 x 4 Day 2: 7/1 x 4 Day 3: 8/1 x 4 Day 4: 40-45 min cross-training
Week 3:Day 1: 9/1 x 3 Day 2: 10/1 x 3 Day 3: 11/1 x 3 Day 4: 45 min cross-training
Week 4:Day 1: 12/1 x 3 Day 2: 14/1 x 2 Day 3: 15/1 x 2 Day 4: 45 min cross-training
Week 5:Day 1: 16/1 + 12 min run Day 2: 18/1 + 10 min run Day 3: 20/1 + 10 min run Day 4: 45 min cross-training Day 5: 30 min cross-training
Week 6:Day 1: 23/1 + 5 min run Day 2: 24/1 + 5 min run Day 3: 25/1 + 5 min run Day 4: 45 min cross-training Day 5: 30 min cross-training
Week 7:Day 1: Run 26 minutes Day 2: Run 28 minutes Day 3: Run 30 minutes Day 4: 45 min cross-training Day 5: 30 min cross-training
Week 8:Your first 5K is this week! You're going to take it a little easier this week, so that you're well-rested for your big race. Good luck! Day 1: Run 25 min Day 2: 30 min cross-training Day 3: Run 20 min

I made a promise to myself that I will train and complete the race without walking is my goal, I want to finish without walking!
