5k a day -- Day 1

Day 1

I did it -- I got out of bed, got dressed, and went out for a run around the neighborhood.  How was it?  Well, not bad, till about mile 2.5 when I started to get pretty hot.  I don't know if the humidity spiked or something.  The people in my neighborhood are uniformly anal about watering their lawns first thing in the morning, resulting in a creative run of "avoid that sprinkler" if I'm not hot enough yet to enjoy the spray.  But when the sun comes up hits all that water lying on the sidewalk, it's sad trombone time for people who don't like humidity.

Starting numbers:

Hips43.75

Okay, not horrible.  Hilariously, according to Active.com's body fat % calculator, I'm at 28% body fat.  But my size 14 butt doesn't believe that for a minute.

So on to the run:

5k in 38:46
12:29 min/mi average pace
Splits:  12:45/12:24/12:22/12:12

And the workout:

40 squats
20 seconds plank (way too easy -- will inrease this more than planned tomorrow)
5 modified push ups (will also increase this tomorrow)


Feels good to be starting a new challenge.  Let's see how it goes.
