Week 1 Complete

C25K week one finished, thanks to my Garmin Forerunner 305 GPS. I ran an hour and thirty minutes, burned 899 calories, and ran a total of 10.68 km for my first week.

I weigh 205 pounds thanks to a week spent eating ice cream, I'm not too worried about that, I'm going to stay focused on workouts, and eating right will be part of it but I'm not going to count all my calories at this time, I want this, and when I jump in with everything at once I do good for a few week then I bomb. I'm going to set this routine of running every other morning, 6am is my workout buddy. Weekends might be off, but during the week I gotta keep it up. I'm hooked on the day I don't run I want to anyway, I might start going for walks in the morning, or doing some kind of strength training. I just love how pumped I feel after. The afternoon my pumped feeling kind of dies, but I hope that goes away as I get used to it. My legs and feet were sore the first and second day but friday they were better.

6 am make sure the coffee timer is on, put on my sweat pants, t-shirt, Garmin, and possibly sunglasses, open that door select my workout and hit start. Best feeling ever.

Break OVER!

I had trouble getting back on the wagon, I had no trouble gaining five pound eating ice cream and relaxing. But now I have a nifty gadget to motivate me. and it Dang well better for 150 big ones. I bought a Garmin Forerunner 305. All i can say is WOW exactly what I what in a watch, heart rate, speed distance, calories, pace, all sorts of stuff like holy doodle! you can customize your workouts, set target paces for intervals and you can make as many intervals as you want in all sorts of different times, hell you can even have a workout partner on it. I like it, I think I'll use it for everything, even other training, it's the perfect watch, besides the 10 hour battery but it's not supposed to sit on your arm all day. it's for work outs, and it's damn good.

Sorry this sounds like a commercial but damn I'm pumped about it.

anyway off to sleep
