Amidst the studying and Cinco de Mayo celebrations this weekend, I also found time to run. Let me tell you, it felt amazing to put on my sneakers and go for a run on a sunny Sunday afternoon. I woke up on Sunday with an itch to run and I had so much energy that Tommy practically pushed me out the door, to burn off some of the energy. Since it had been NOVEMBER(!) the last time I did a run outside, I downloaded the Couch to 10K app to get me back on track with running.
After doing I bit of research, I decided on the 10K Runner app to help me get back into the swing of things.
My first run was super easy intervals of 1 minute running and 1.5 minutes of walking. Even when I was done with the recommended program for the first run, I felt like I could have gone on for much longer, which is a lot more than I can say for how I started out last year.
The run was surprisingly relaxing and totally cleared my head which has been abuzz with all things school for the past couple of weeks. I cannot wait until school is done so I can relax and do nothing for
3 months, except run, that is! 😉 But for now, its back to studying!
Have a great Tuesday!
Are you a runner? What fitness apps do you use, if any?
Last fall I used couch 2 5k to start from scratch in the running department and then bumped up to bridge to 10k! both were SUPER helpful. They helped me build up to running a half marathon soon! eek, may 19th 🙂 i also love 100 pushups app and nike+ gps.
