[0:00] hi I'm Sierra I'm Jess we don't run no
[0:03] but uh that changes now starting today
[0:06] we are going to try to follow the couch
[0:08] to 5K program running 3 days a week
[0:11] increasing run intervals until in theory
[0:14] cuz I'm not actually sure how much I
[0:15] believe I'm going to be able to do this
[0:17] you will be able to do it in theory at
[0:19] the end of this we are going to be able
[0:21] to run a 5k 3.1 miles so today is week
[0:25] one run one let's freaking run I got
[0:27] winded walking here we're using using
[0:30] the watch to 5K
[0:35] app we start with a 5 minute warm up
[0:38] brisk
[0:40] walk all right 1 minute till our first
[0:43] run
[0:47] interval we're on our first run interval
[0:50] 3 seconds and
[0:52] walk now we just rinse and repeat that
[0:55] eight times
[1:04] this be
[1:06] [Music]
[1:11] last we've got a minute left of our cool
[1:15] down feeling good look we get this
[1:18] little little award well done you ran
[1:20] for 8 minutes we did
[1:23] it run one in the books how'd you feel
[1:26] pretty good the initial nerves are gone
[1:28] you know I feel a l slightly more
[1:31] confident that we'll be able to do this
[1:32] at least that like I'm starting at a
[1:34] point where the beginning is doable oh
[1:37] 100% so that I have to believe that my
[1:38] body can adjust with the increasing
[1:41] intervals and build the stamina so that
[1:43] in uh 3 months or so we can do a 5K and
[1:47] we can sing the whole time Pink Pony
[1:50] Club I'm going to keep on daning we just
[1:52] finished our first run it was really fun
[1:55] it's like ironically the Run did not
[1:58] wind me but walking back to my car did
[2:01] it was so nice having SE like with me
[2:03] cuz I feel like I get so in my head when
[2:04] I'm running and in the past like I've
[2:06] used running as kind of a meditative
[2:07] thing to get me you know into my body
[2:09] and out of my head and it's always kind
[2:11] of backfired that's something I was a
[2:12] little nervous about and so having her
[2:13] there and also like she was counting at
[2:15] the times and we would be like talking
[2:17] when we were running which is also part
[2:18] of the couch to 5K you're supposed to be
[2:20] able to you know talk I was more nervous
[2:21] showing up today than I was excited and
[2:24] now I'm just excited I definitely think
[2:25] I have a history of like shin splints
[2:27] and some other stuff so I'm going to
[2:28] preemptively kind of handle that um I
[2:31] didn't notice anything too bad today I
[2:33] just want to make sure I'm on top of
[2:34] that okay run one in the books and I
[2:37] feel good I feel motivated and just
[2:40] really excited that we're doing this I'm
[2:43] four months postpartum right now and I
[2:46] just I really want to feel more
[2:48] connected to my body I want to be really
[2:50] consistent with my exercise and I want
[2:51] to also increase my stamina and I feel
[2:54] like doing this and trying to run a 5k
[2:56] having that tangible goal is hopefully
[2:58] going to be a a really really good
[3:00] motivator to keep me consistent work on
[3:02] all those things and hopefully feel
[3:04] really accomplished at the end of this
[3:06] if I'm able to do it and running like
[3:08] this trying to do a 5k is this is not
[3:10] something I've done since I was like a
[3:11] teenager I played soccer growing up so I
[3:14] ran a lot but it was always like the
[3:16] means to an end of keeping up on the
[3:18] field like it it was always for
[3:20] conditioning I never would just run to
[3:23] run and this is this is something I want
[3:25] to do for myself build stamina connect
[3:28] to my body be assistant and prove to
[3:31] myself that I can do
[3:34] [Music]
[3:46] it always
[3:57] [Music]
[4:08] [Music]
[4:10] all right y'all I have finished my first
[4:13] two weeks of couch to 5K I'm six runs in
[4:16] and feeling really good I did not expect
[4:19] to enjoy running as much as I do but I
[4:22] think starting with these lower
[4:24] intervals and slowly building up the
[4:26] stamina everything has felt really
[4:29] doable and it's made it more fun because
[4:32] the running doesn't feel like a strain
[4:34] or a punishment it's something I'm
[4:36] enjoying and and looking forward to and
[4:38] also something that is within my range
[4:41] of capability so I hit all my runs both
[4:43] weeks week one doing the one minute
[4:45] intervals everything felt pretty
[4:48] consistently easyish and then week two
[4:51] moving up to 990c intervals I kind of
[4:54] had that same mindset at the beginning
[4:55] of my first round I was like wow this
[4:57] really doesn't feel any different this
[4:58] is so easy and then I really started to
[5:00] feel it on my last few intervals and
[5:03] really slowed my pace so that's
[5:04] something I'm working on now is not you
[5:06] know going too hard right out of the
[5:08] gate and just really keeping a nice
[5:10] consistent slow pace that I can maintain
[5:13] through my whole run week two I was gone
[5:15] for 3 days we went on a trip with Disney
[5:18] and so I didn't want to run on that trip
[5:19] since we were doing so much walking so I
[5:21] just had to be strategic with planning
[5:23] out the runs making sure that I did one
[5:25] before the trip and that the day I got
[5:27] home even though I was really tired
[5:28] doing my second run so that then I could
[5:30] have a rest day before my third run at
[5:32] the end of the week and I think doing
[5:34] this couch to 5K program definitely
[5:37] keeps me accountable I really don't want
[5:39] to miss a run because I know that would
[5:41] set me back in terms of building up that
[5:44] endurance so even though I was dragging
[5:45] my feet a little bit on that uh week two
[5:48] run two wanting to stay on track with
[5:51] this training program is really what
[5:53] motivated me to to get up and go to the
[5:55] gym anyways so yeah feeling good I'm
[5:57] excited and slightly nervous for week
[6:00] three where I'm now going to have to run
[6:03] for 3 minutes non-stop which sounds like
[6:05] a lot I mean that's double what I've
[6:07] done up until this point so fingers
[6:10] [Music]
[6:13] crossed it's amazing how a minute and a
[6:15] half felt so easy knowing that my next
[6:18] interval is 3 minutes I'm a little
[6:20] nervous for this 10
[6:22] seconds and then I'm running for 3
[6:24] minutes the longest I have yet here we
[6:26] go and done wow 2 weeks ago running for
[6:30] 3 minutes nonstop would have seemed
[6:32] unconceivable that was okay that felt
[6:35] good
[6:41] [Music]
[6:44] [Applause]
[6:53] [Music]
[7:17] I'm running on vacation here on Pismo
[7:20] Beach it's gorgeous and I just did my
[7:23] first 5 minute interval I was nervous
[7:26] but I did it I am surprised by my own
[7:28] capability
[7:30] [Music]
[7:42] that was
[7:44] hard I'm going on my third run of week
[7:47] four and I've kind of been dreading it
[7:49] because run two was terrible I don't
[7:52] know why I struggled so much with that
[7:54] run it was the same as we as run one and
[7:57] the first one felt fine but for whatever
[7:59] reason it felt like the longest
[8:01] intervals of my life I felt exhausted I
[8:04] was not enjoying it so kind of been
[8:07] dreading going back out for a run again
[8:09] whereas up until this point running has
[8:11] been something that I've been really
[8:12] looking forward to so I forced myself
[8:14] out of the house a little early today so
[8:17] I don't have time to overthink it and
[8:19] I'm hoping hoping it feels slightly more
[8:22] [Music]
[8:27] doable last 30 seconds of my last run
[8:31] interval oh my God this was like night
[8:33] and day difference from my second run
[8:36] this week oh my gosh like I feel tired
[8:39] right now but not depleted like it's a
[8:41] little bit of a push this last minute or
[8:43] two but I'm not miserable
[8:46] so maybe it was just an off day and also
[8:49] I'm finding that I have a much easier
[8:51] time running outside than I do running
[8:53] at the
[8:57] gym I am now officially 1 month in to
[9:01] the couch to 5K program the last two
[9:03] weeks week three and four went pretty
[9:05] well for the most part week three was
[9:07] honestly like a breeze as much as I had
[9:09] kind of worked it up in my head doing
[9:10] those 3 minute intervals I feel like my
[9:12] body was really ready for that and that
[9:14] week marked the switch of doing now more
[9:17] running than walking with the intervals
[9:19] hit all my runs I also increased um the
[9:22] strength training that I'm doing on my
[9:23] off days cross training like that
[9:26] obviously good for building strength but
[9:27] also should eventually
[9:29] helped me run faster I feel like week
[9:31] three I really hit my stride for lack of
[9:34] a better word like I got into a good
[9:36] group uh it's part of my routine now I
[9:38] go running in the morning usually I feel
[9:41] like it's been really good for my mental
[9:42] health too and I just really look
[9:44] forward to to getting out having my run
[9:46] time and then week four we upped it to
[9:50] uh alternating between 5 minute run
[9:52] intervals and 3 minute run intervals and
[9:55] that first run I was pretty nervous for
[9:56] the 5 minutes but honestly was fine I
[9:59] was out on vacation for that first run
[10:01] so I was like running on the boardwalk
[10:03] and it was just it was cool I enjoyed it
[10:05] now my second time doing this exact run
[10:08] for whatever reason could not have been
[10:10] a more different experience this was by
[10:13] far the worst run of the video honestly
[10:16] week four run two I was like questioning
[10:19] why am I doing why am I even doing this
[10:21] regretting My Life Choices um I here's
[10:24] the thing I had also just been kind of
[10:25] having a hard couple days and I had
[10:27] actually pushed the run off a day
[10:29] because I didn't want to do it was
[10:31] having a really hard time and then I
[10:34] finally got myself to go to the gym and
[10:38] do the run and here's the thing running
[10:40] at the gym feels like a freaking
[10:42] eternity whereas running when I'm
[10:44] running out and about like the time goes
[10:46] by so much faster I tried to make this
[10:48] more fun for myself cuz I knew I had
[10:50] kind of been dreading it I knew it might
[10:51] be hard I brought like my little phone
[10:53] scroller for Tik Tok so I could watch
[10:55] Tik Tok while I ran honestly that didn't
[10:58] help at all I still absolutely hated
[11:01] this run and it was humbling I felt 10
[11:04] times more tired than I did doing the
[11:06] first run of week four I just absolutely
[11:09] hated it it was a terrible run and I
[11:11] felt bad after too I had kind of told
[11:13] myself you know I'm giving myself a pep
[11:16] talk I'm like you know just get up go to
[11:18] the gym do your run you can watch Tik
[11:20] Tok you can have some alone time you're
[11:23] going to feel so good after think of how
[11:25] good you're going to feel after and then
[11:26] after I was like I feel terrible inside
[11:29] and out so that sucked but here's the
[11:31] thing I went back out for run three 2
[11:34] days later and I did it out of the house
[11:36] this time and mentally I was in a better
[11:39] place and let me tell you that run was
[11:42] great it was a breeze oh my God I'm so
[11:44] glad I didn't let that one bad Run keep
[11:47] me down because week four run three I
[11:50] was right back to where I was with the
[11:51] first run that week I felt good I
[11:53] enjoyed it yeah for the 5 minute
[11:55] intervals I had to like push myself a
[11:56] little bit but a healthy amount of
[11:59] pushing and it wasn't The Struggle Bus
[12:02] that week four run two was so I don't
[12:05] know what was up with me that day but I
[12:06] think it's a good reminder that like
[12:08] there's going to be bad runs and I I
[12:11] shouldn't just you know throw in the
[12:12] towel because of that push through try
[12:15] again um also I think I I think I need
[12:18] to just stop running at the gym on the
[12:20] treadmill the the time just ticks by so
[12:22] slowly and I really enjoy being outside
[12:26] I've loved doing like Trail runs and
[12:29] runs at the park it's just it's nice so
[12:32] now I am headed into week five I'm
[12:35] actually about to go do my first run of
[12:37] week five and this week we are ramping
[12:39] up to running 20 minutes non-stop which
[12:43] seems like a huge jump but also starting
[12:45] this week I'm now no longer doing like
[12:48] the same run intervals every Run for the
[12:50] week it's changing now so like today
[12:52] week five run one I'm running for 15
[12:55] minutes broken up into three 5 minute
[12:57] intervals run two this week I jump up to
[13:00] doing two 8 Minute intervals with just
[13:02] that one short walk in between the two
[13:05] and then couple days after that we drop
[13:08] that walk interval all together and up
[13:10] it to uh 20 minutes non-stop I'm
[13:14] anticipating possibly having to repeat
[13:17] this week like I'm anticipating maybe
[13:19] not being ready for that but I don't
[13:21] want to jump to that yet I want to push
[13:24] myself a little bit I want to see if I'm
[13:25] capable and who knows maybe I will make
[13:29] maybe I'll be able to do it maybe I
[13:30] won't have to repeat this week but I
[13:31] feel like now things are really starting
[13:33] to kick into gear so I want to balance
[13:36] that like pushing myself proving to
[13:38] myself that I can do hard things and uh
[13:41] keeping this fun and doable and you know
[13:44] being kind to myself giving myself time
[13:47] so yeah that's where I'm at a month in
[13:50] going into week five we got this and a
[13:53] quick update just had to stop after last
[13:56] week for personal reasons I so
[13:58] appreciate her help and support getting
[14:00] started with this and I'm going to miss
[14:02] my training
[14:04] [Music]
[14:21] buddy all right I am about to do my
[14:25] first 20 minute run at least attempt it
[14:27] we'll see I have to walk I have to walk
[14:30] but my goal is to do a mile so at the
[14:33] current Pace that I've been run walking
[14:36] the intervals for the past few weeks
[14:38] that should be very doable so let's go
[14:40] run a mile
[14:46] maybe I'm 10 minutes in I just hit 1
[14:48] kilometer halfway through I think I
[14:51] might actually be able to do this it's
[14:53] almost kind of nice not having the
[14:55] intervals cuz I'm not like checking my
[14:56] watch for anything or thinking about
[14:58] what's next I just have to run 3 minutes
[15:02] left definitely feeling it very sweaty
[15:06] kind of want to walk but feel like at
[15:08] this point I'm committed in 3 minutes I
[15:10] can push I want to do it I want to
[15:11] complete it one more minute let's go I
[15:14] just ran for 20
[15:16] minutes wow the last few minutes was
[15:19] definitely a push but I got there I did
[15:22] it wow
[15:39] [Music]
[15:50] B
[16:10] all right week five was successful I
[16:13] completed all my runs I felt good in
[16:15] these intervals I did start my period
[16:18] this week which just kind of led to me
[16:20] feeling a little meh overall but didn't
[16:22] affect the runs too much uh we're also
[16:25] in like a major Heat Wave so it was a
[16:27] bit of a struggle just to make sure that
[16:29] I was getting out early enough cuz I've
[16:30] decided that I just don't want a
[16:33] treadmill run anymore like that is not
[16:35] for me so in the heat morning runs got
[16:38] to be pretty early in the morning but uh
[16:40] we got there and the week finished off
[16:43] with that 20 minute run and I really
[16:47] surprised myself I ran 20 minutes
[16:49] nonstop 2 km and it just feels so
[16:54] awesome to be hitting these goals and
[16:57] making progress and having such like a
[16:59] tangible exercise goal that is
[17:02] completely disconnected from my weight
[17:05] and my appearance cuz in the past I have
[17:07] gotten so hung up and like hyper fixated
[17:10] on that and it really ruled my life and
[17:13] dominated my relationship with exercise
[17:16] for so many years and this feels so
[17:19] different like it feels like a a
[17:21] celebration of what my body can do and
[17:23] just like I'm showing up for myself I'm
[17:25] enjoying it it it's motivating to have
[17:28] such a tangible goal and being able to
[17:30] measure that success in a way that is so
[17:33] completely disconnected from what my
[17:35] body looks like it's just what can my
[17:37] body do and that is that's like freeing
[17:41] for me so moving into week six I feel
[17:43] like I was in a really good head space
[17:45] really the hardest part this week was
[17:46] just actually finding time to run it was
[17:49] just a busy week with the kids there was
[17:51] a lot going on and then Steven had a big
[17:53] week at work so he wasn't as available
[17:55] to be with the kids so I could run I I'm
[17:57] thinking about getting a jogging
[17:59] stroller cuz then I could run with the
[18:01] kids I don't even have to set aside
[18:02] extra time but anyways I haven't missed
[18:04] a run yet but I came close this week I
[18:07] decided I didn't want to let that happen
[18:09] so uh one of the evenings when Stephen
[18:11] was working late I went over to my
[18:12] parents house we had dinner and then
[18:14] they watched the kids while I went
[18:15] running in their neighborhood which was
[18:18] such a throwback cuz I did one of my old
[18:20] running routes that I used to do when I
[18:22] was a teenager and I was conditioning
[18:24] for soccer um and that was very humbling
[18:26] let me tell you but it was kind of fun
[18:27] to do an evening run I I worried that I
[18:29] wouldn't have enough energy by the end
[18:31] of the day but honestly it had just been
[18:33] something that I had like been looking
[18:34] forward to all day and so I just gave it
[18:37] everything that was left in the tank and
[18:39] then this morning I did my last run of
[18:41] week six I ran for 25 minutes non-stop
[18:44] the last few minutes was hard but I did
[18:47] it and now I am officially done with
[18:50] interval training the next 3 weeks the
[18:52] runs increase from 25 minutes to 28 and
[18:55] then finally to 30 which one thing I am
[18:58] realizing is I am not going to be
[19:01] running 5 km when I finish couch to 5K
[19:05] this program is designed to be able to
[19:07] get you to run 30 minutes without
[19:09] stopping and I do believe that I'm going
[19:11] to get to that point now which is like
[19:14] kind of crazy and so cool but all the
[19:16] metrics for couch to 5K are time based
[19:20] not distance which is part of what makes
[19:22] this so accessible for any Fitness level
[19:24] but I as a slow Runner am not running at
[19:28] a pace where I am going to be doing 5 km
[19:31] in that 30 minutes my current run walk
[19:33] Pace has been about 10 minutes per
[19:35] kilometer which is very slow but it
[19:37] feels good for me for now I'm going to
[19:38] keep it that way just focus on
[19:41] continuing to run longer instead of
[19:43] faster take it run by run focus on my
[19:46] consistency and building stamina maybe
[19:48] more speed can come later but yeah I'm
[19:51] realizing at the end of this program I
[19:53] am still going to have a lot of work to
[19:55] do to get to actually running a 5k
[20:07] [Music]
[20:13] oh my gosh it's actually chilly out this
[20:16] morning there's like a crispness to the
[20:18] air this is so much more enjoyable
[20:24] [Music]
[20:38] he
[20:40] [Music]
[21:19] week eight let's go
[21:24] [Music]
[21:40] [Music]
[21:57] n
[21:58] [Music]
[22:13] week seven we increased to 25 minute
[22:16] runs I tried listening to audiobooks and
[22:19] YouTube videos instead of music because
[22:21] I was just finding it kind of hard
[22:23] mentally and that helped a lot in just
[22:25] passing the time faster so I've actually
[22:26] been rarely listening to music now when
[22:29] I'm running it's also finally starting
[22:31] to cool down and oh my gosh running when
[22:34] it's not blazing hot out is so much more
[22:37] enjoyable like when it's a little chilly
[22:39] in the morning and the air feels crisp
[22:41] it's it's a lot more refreshing I did
[22:43] have a big set back this week though I
[22:46] got Co I had done two of my runs for
[22:49] week seven um and then tested positive
[22:51] the next day all right I am past Co now
[22:55] I'm ready to get back into things but it
[22:56] has been a week since I last Ran So I
[23:01] have no idea what this is going to be
[23:03] like I've honestly been really nervous
[23:04] to get back out just because I feel like
[23:06] I lost the momentum that I had probably
[23:09] going to have to like go back a week
[23:11] maybe two but for this first run back I
[23:14] am just going to pick up where I left
[23:16] off I was supposed to do another 25
[23:19] minute run for my third run of week
[23:20] seven I'm going to run as much as I can
[23:22] I might need to walk a little bit in the
[23:24] middle to catch my breath but I'm going
[23:26] to give it my all I completed the 25 5
[23:28] minute run and I felt a big surge in my
[23:32] confidence comeback that like I really
[23:34] can do this so I repeated week seven
[23:37] that week three 25 minute runs and
[23:39] actually I ended up doing four because I
[23:41] wanted to make up that run that I had
[23:44] lost the week before and everything felt
[23:47] good my stamina felt strong so I was
[23:49] ready to move on to week eight stepping
[23:52] up to 28 minute runs my motivation went
[23:56] down a little bit this week I just like
[23:58] I wasn't looking forward to the runs I
[24:00] really had to like push myself to get
[24:02] out there um I also got my period this
[24:05] week so correlation probably but I
[24:08] completed all three of my 28 minute runs
[24:10] and that step up felt pretty mild so I
[24:13] moved into week nine my last week of the
[24:16] program I ran for 30 minutes what we've
[24:20] been building towards I just ran for 30
[24:22] minutes that's that's the last step of
[24:25] catch a 5k I'm not running a 5k I ran
[24:28] a little over 3 km but did it I got to
[24:32] 30 minutes I'm super proud of myself
[24:34] although my motivation still did feel a
[24:37] little low at times you think I'd be
[24:40] feeling motivated since I'm reaching the
[24:42] end but I literally did everything else
[24:44] I could think of today to put off
[24:46] running and now it's freaking hot and I
[24:48] have to run and it's hot but we're doing
[24:52] it but knowing my race was a few weeks
[24:54] away really kept me going and I just
[24:58] can't believe I did this like I'm really
[25:00] proud of myself I'm really surprised by
[25:03] my own capability like when I started
[25:05] this a few months ago and those 1 minute
[25:08] and 3 minute intervals were a push like
[25:10] I just wasn't really sure if this is
[25:12] something that I would be able to do but
[25:14] I'm here I am a couch to 5K graduate I
[25:18] have completed the 9we training program
[25:21] it took me 10 weeks 30 runs 11 hours 65
[25:26] km and now couch to 5K is complete
[25:29] although actually running 5 km is a
[25:33] different story my pace is still very
[25:35] slow I'm completing a little over 3 km
[25:38] in that 30 minutes so my plan is to keep
[25:41] running 3 days a week and keep
[25:44] increasing that time every week and
[25:47] building my stamina towards that 5 km
[25:49] Mark although the race is in 2 weeks so
[25:52] I won't be there by race day but my plan
[25:54] for the race is just to run as much as I
[25:57] can and there's no shame in Walking the
[25:59] rest my goal is just to finish or maybe
[26:03] finish in like under an hour would be
[26:04] nice but I'm excited to keep running I'm
[26:08] I surprise myself at how much I actually
[26:11] enjoy this I'm also going to start doing
[26:13] a longer walk after my runs that way I'm
[26:16] always getting to that 5 km distance
[26:18] even if it's not all running all right
[26:21] so 2 weeks until the 5K race we were
[26:23] signed up for I am going to keep going
[26:26] with my runs which means right now I'm
[26:29] filming this right before my run so see
[26:31] you all right the time has come the race
[26:34] is tomorrow I went and picked up my bib
[26:37] today I've kept up with my three runs a
[26:40] week leading up to the race and I made
[26:42] it through the entire couch to 5K
[26:45] program with no injuries no joint pain
[26:47] not even really any muscle soreness I
[26:50] think since it's just such like a a
[26:52] gradual workup my body responded really
[26:54] well to it and then last week my left
[26:58] hip flexor randomly started hurting
[27:00] during a run and it hasn't gone away it
[27:03] hasn't really gotten worse either but
[27:05] pretty much as soon as I start running
[27:07] like a couple minutes into the run I
[27:08] start feeling it and it's not it's not
[27:11] that bad but I'm kind of stressed about
[27:12] just injuring it more so I feel like
[27:14] that's held me back a little bit and
[27:16] also just added a little bit to my
[27:17] nerves for tomorrow but you know what I
[27:20] am mostly excited for tomorrow I'm
[27:22] feeling good about it I'm feeling I feel
[27:24] pretty ready I still haven't worked up
[27:26] to actually running the full 5 km in my
[27:29] runs but I got up to running for 37
[27:31] minutes I did just under 4 km in that
[27:34] time so I feel like either tomorrow I
[27:36] can take a little walking break at that
[27:37] point and then you know run the last bit
[27:41] or if I'm feeling good I might just push
[27:45] and see if I can run the full 5 km that
[27:47] would be freaking awesome that's like
[27:50] beyond my expectation for myself so if I
[27:52] can do that that'd be really cool but my
[27:54] main goal tomorrow is just to finish and
[27:57] to feel good in my body to feel
[27:58] accomplished at what I've done and to
[28:01] have fun cuz at the end of the day like
[28:03] that's what this is all about me just
[28:04] connecting with my body feeling good
[28:07] having fun getting some movement in and
[28:10] uh all of that is going to happen
[28:12] tomorrow 5K here we come
[28:30] okay we're lined up it's about to start
[28:33] I'm glad I brought my visor it's
[28:35] sunny listening to Hamilton the
[28:38] Pre-Workout is hitting I'm
[28:53] ready one mile
[29:02] two miles the last minute my brother
[29:04] decided to run this with me which has
[29:06] been super cool and just making the time
[29:08] go by faster having someone else out
[29:09] here he's training for a half marathon
[29:11] so this is a literal Walkin park for him
[29:13] but I feel like it's helping me to keep
[29:15] pushing I'm going to try and run this
[29:17] whole thing I think I can do it
[29:39] I did it from couch to 5K I really
[29:42] surprised myself I was able to run the
[29:44] whole thing without stopping and I feel
[29:46] really proud of myself I feel so
[29:49] accomplished and genuinely just
[29:51] surprised by my own capabilities which I
[29:53] feel like has been kind of the running
[29:55] theme through me doing couch to 5K
[29:57] proving to myself that I can and uh
[30:00] pushing myself connecting with my body 3
[30:02] months ago this seemed impossible but
[30:04] here I am I did it and if I can I think
[30:07] anyone can I'll put my final race time
[30:09] up here it was like 47 minutes and
[30:11] something my goal was under an hour and
[30:13] I made it so that is going to be it for
[30:16] this video thank you so much for
[30:17] watching be confident be kind to your
[30:19] body and I'll see you next time bye
