C25k pt.3

"You can feel sore tomorrow or you can feel sorry tomorrow. YOU CHOOSE." -Nike Advertisement


Courtney and I were supposed to workout yesterday, but I had something come up so we postponed until today... I'm not gonna lie yesterday was horrible! It was just a bad day and ended with me getting an Oreo McFlurry... it didn't "help" my day get any better, but it tasted so good! Today I got to relax which almost never happens! It was also time for me to weigh in. I hope that McFlurry wasn't a bad idea!!!


Starting weight: 170 pounds
Start Date: Jan. 7, 2013
Goal weight: 135 pounds
Estimated Goal Reached Date: Dec. 7, 2013

Today's Weigh-In: 168.2 pounds


I weighed in 2 pounds down from last week!

Today during C25K training I really realized that I am not the same as when I was in high school running long distance for track and field! That girl is hiding somewhere deep inside of me, hopefully she'll be making an appearance sometime in the near future. I used to run a 6:25min mile, now I can't run a full mile without feeling like I'm going to die! I realize that I had to train and practice before I could run a mile like that which is why I've set realistic goals and workout schedule for myself.



Week 2 Day 1: Brisk 5 minute warmup walk. Then alternate 90 seconds of jogging and 2 minutes of walking for a total of 20 minutes.


Courtney and I also ended our workout with some ab exercises... I'm already sore!


Do you have a diet plan that you follow? while you exercise? care to share?

C25k pt.2

Day three of my training for a 5k. I'm not sore, but that might not be a good thing.
The way that this program works is on a day off a day... So maybe I should be doing strength training on the "off days"?



Week 1 day 3 : Brisk 5 minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Couch to 5k

It's a new year and the start of a new me. I'm going balls to the wall honest with you all; I am 5'2" and weigh 170lbs. I need some accountability so I thought why not start here on my little blog. The challenge is to run a full 5k without stopping to walk. It doesn't seem like much, but this is the tip of the iceberg for my goals for the year. On March 16th I will be running Gnarly neon- color run- 5k with my sister and some friends in Modesto, CA and another race with my sister on April 7th Color Me Rad- color run in Fresno, CA. I have a couple other races in mind like in June The Udder Run which is a 5k in my hometown, July Wharf to Wharf a 10k in Santa Cruz, October Nike Women's half marathon in San Francisco, and January Disney's tinker bell run half marathon in Anaheim in Disneyland!

I love having a smart phone with the assortment of apps to help train you. My sister and I are using C25k (couch to 5k). We are training by running intervals every other day. We started on Wednesday and have completed 2 workouts.

Week 1 day 1: Brisk 5 minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

Week 1 day 2: Brisk 5 minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

We also plan to do more muscle building workouts along with running. I plan on posting my weight weekly and our workouts every other day. You can follow both of our progress on Instagram @kmontague88 and @camontague



We're sexy and we know it!
