So this last week went pretty great!
I managed two out of my attempted three runs! The program I’m using is a couch-to-5k app (because I am definitely living the couch life rn), and ideally I would be running three times a week to keep up with its pace. I’d already started doing some of them in late September/early October, though, so I was in between weeks. The two runs helped me catch up so doing three a week will have me right on pace!
Just for stats sake, my current “walking” pace is about 4mph, with my “run” going up to around 8mph. I’m still only running on the elliptical, though, until my ankles get stronger. :P
The two soccer games also went great! My team was short on subs for the first one, so I got to play the whole game! I was really surprised that I could keep up for that long, but I was pleasantly tired by the end instead of wanting to die halfway through. We tied the game, no scores on either side.
The second game was a little more up in the air. I was in and out for a lot of it, and we lost, but it was so great to play with the girls’ league. The energy is real and it is healing.
Going into this next week, I’m aiming for all three runs and – since the soccer season is over – two games of netball! So excited!!
