Couch to 5k!

So, I haven't posted in a very long time. There is good reason, I got my dream job running a small non-profit and have been busy doing that.

BUT...I started the couch to 5k program legitimately about 5 weeks ago. I started super strong and have a check-in buddy. We signed up to do an awesome 5k at the end of September to give us time to train. I blasted through weeks 1-3 and rocked them hard. Week 4 has proven more difficult. I am starting to realize that you really need to be aware of what you feed yourself when you actually work out. I say this because I don't have the sustained energy needed as my running times are longer. This week, as I finish week 4 and head into the gruesome week 5, I am looking into changing my eating habits. With that in mind, I am now going to eat some peanut butter and a piece of fruit before I leave my office, about 30 min before my workout. We'll see how that goes :)

Also, I started my day with vanilla Greek yogurt, a nectarine, chia seeds and honey...and coffee with cream
I know I shouldn't have the cream, but I don't care and I will not keep that from myself since I drink water the rest of the day. Maybe it's "funny math" but whatever. I am also going to try to incorporate a protein shake every other morning so I can build muscle. I tried doing a barre sculpting class that was awesome, but it was getting in the way of work so I am going to work on my arms after each run...and by arms I mean my sweet guns....

Anyway, I am making turkey, bean and potato tacos tonight...I'll post the recipe if it's yummy...

Also, these muffin are DELICIOUS!!! http://www.cooks.com/rec/view/0,174,155180-239207,00.html
