Training Log Archive: cporter

So my co-worker and girlfriend, Joey randomly decided a couple of weeks ago that she wants to run a 10K for...the heck of it. She's not a runner, but she said she's been able to make it through 5K's in the past without training for them, but wants to get into shape and decided that to do so she needed to have a goal to work toward. She asked me if I was planning to run or knew of any road races coming up and I suggested she run the Jingle All the Way 10K that I will be running in December as a team with some other QOC members (Jon T, Andy B, and Kenny W I believe.) Its an ambitious goal for her, but she was pretty psyched about it so I'm "coaching" her in prep for the race. I have her mostly running on her own because our schedules don't match up well, but we do have our Wed. lunch free so we had our first run together today. We jogged three 1km loops around the walking path around our building and then power walked one more. She did good I think for just starting and it worked well for me since it acted as a recovery run for me (although I may run a bit more after work), but we have a long way to go to get her ready to at least be able to finish the 10K.

Walked one more km after jogging.

Just a little more cardio in addition to my lunch time jog with Joey, bu without the impact.

Nice long stretch after the eliptical.
