So, according to my schedule, training doesn't start for my first 5K until February 2nd, which is 8 weeks away from race day. But since I am so out of shape, I decided to start things off a little early. My goal is to start going to the gym at least 4 days a week, (as opposed to the once a week I have been) so when I finally do start training, I am ready to give it my all. This being my first race of any kind, I am very grateful to have a schedule follow. It will help me stay on track, which is something I need when it comes to working out. I've always wanted to participate in a marathon, or triathlon...but I had to be realistic and start with what I could handle. If you're anything like me, and want to get started from the very beginning, please let me know! It would be great to talk to others with a similar goal! Any questions you have, I probably have them too... so ask away and I will do the research and find out what we need to know. I'll be checking this on a regular basis and posting at least once a week. Any ideas or suggestions you have for me, or our other runners Cody and Jesse, feel free to let me know. I know I'm excited to start training for what I can only hope will be my first of many races!

ReplyDeleteHello Krystle,

ReplyDeletei like how honest ken was. haha. Im excited for you to complete this exercise journey. Its gonna be hard, and tiring, and you'll be sore as hell. But i think in the end itll pay off and youll be so happy that you did this. Not to mentioned how fit and skinny youll be!Good luck love! i mean, buff.
ReplyDeleteI just want to thank you all for following me through this! :) It's only week one and Stacey's right : it is hard, and tiring, and I am so sore! But so far, so good - it's worth it! (And soon I will be buff instead of sore I hope! haha.)And even if you're just starting with a 20 minute run/walk or doing it to keep warm it'll be worth it! And it can be fun too! :) So far, I'm enjoying it!

Jenna, thank you so much for following along with me! It makes a lot more fun, and a lot easier, to stick to it all! I am nervous for the race already, but I am working hard to make sure I can finish, and finish well! I look forward to hearing what you think on here! :)
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, I am keeping up with my workouts - I am very proud to say in the past two weeks, I haven't missed a workout - I have just been taking my Sunday rest day as prescribed! If any one else have any progress to talk about, or ask about, please do!!
ReplyDeleteHey Krissy, I am still walking on the tread mill..I try to do at least one mile 3 times a week. I know it is nothing compared to what you are doing. Keep up the great job. Can't wait to see how you do in the race....
ReplyDeletehey...so you slacked off for 2 days...so what ..get back on track and start working out again...I know you can do it....I still am walking on the treadmill ...at least a mile every 2 days....Can't wait to see you in a few weeks...good luck and stick to it...love ya
ReplyDeleteGood job with keeping at it! :) The tough part for me is just getting to the gym for the most part! But it will be worth it! It makes easier when I see others succeeded with their goals! Like the fact that you are walking a mile every other day! :) Can't wait to see you either! When I am home we should walk outside together to keep at it!!
ReplyDeletehey Krystle!
ReplyDeletehi this is Erica, your mom showed me how to get into your blogging system so now we can talk all the time (: Well how is the workout coming? hope it's going great! How is South Dekota treating you? It was really nice seeing you last weekend it was very fun. It was also nice to meet Sean he seems very nice. I am doing school volleyball and still doing soccer, I am doing indoor soccer which is starting in a couple weeks. This is my first year playing volleyball so I am working my hardest. i cant wait til im out of middle school, because it sucks (: Well I hope to hear from you soon. love you <3
Erica!
ReplyDeleteHey! Sorry I it took so long to respond! I did't see your post! It's awesom that you are on here. It was great to see you that weekend, even though it was kind of short. And I am so glad that you finally got to meet Sean! My workout is coming along. I just have to stick to it. Saturday I ran my first 5K! It was actually fun, but tough for me, hehe. I am not all in shape like you. :) Doing all those sports. How is it all going? South Dakota is pretty good. Work is keeping me very busy, and so is this workout thing! Speaking of that I better go so I can fit a workout in before work! :) Talk to you soon I hope!
