When they say every kiss begins with k, are they referring to the 5k I just ran or my 401k savings plan? Either way I am ready šš

don’t listen to Doc, a sprinter does through two hours of warm-up to run for less than a minute.
Ā in other news you’re doing good! keep it up! if you want to! I’m cheering you on
DONāT WORRY, the only sprinting I ever do is to make the light on crosswalks.
And THANK YOU š Your encouragement means a lot!

You run as fast a mile as me! I have been running for a long time. (I am a very slow runner) You could probs be a REALLY fast runner.
Ahahaha I doubt Iāll ever be REALLY FAST but thank you! Ā I look up to you SO MUCH when you mention how far you run! My goal is to have that kind of endurance.Ā
And it feels kind of… mean? to say thank you for telling me Iām as fast as you, but I do want to thank you because I was always the kid in gym class who failed the fitness test because I ran the mile in like 12 minutes (and also… failed all the other parts of the test) so I kind of always conceive of myself as still being that much slower than everyone else. SO THANK YOU.
My best friend came over to run with me today, and it was so great because
a) itās actually really fun to run with someone, Iāve gone to the gym with a buddy but I havenāt *ran* with someone in what we figured was six years, since he was the only person I ever ran with back home.Ā
b) he has a REAL smartphone, not an iPod that likes to pretend, and an ap that can track you as you run and tell you your pace, and since todayās c25k run was 10 min run, 3 walk, 10 run, he turned it on for the last 10, and our average pace was 8:21 for a mile! Which is not an outstanding time in general but for me!! Itās great!! (And we were a little faster on the first leg I think, but he didnāt think to turn the app on.) Iāve been a little worried this whole time Iāve been going slower than the programās assumption of 10 minute miles. And even if I pushed a little more because he was there (which letās be real, I didnāt do it consciously but I did definitely do it) Iām still definitely going a little faster. And that feels so good! (8 minute miles are generally my in-good-shape pace, the summer in highschool I ran every day that was where I got to, and when I was consistent about the gym in college I would hit that pace on the treadmill. Also I have never in my life managed to hit 7:30 or lower)
ITāS 88Ā°F BUT IāVE MADE IT HALFWAY THROUGH C25K
Week 3 day 1 complete, but more importantly, I passed a little girl who pumped her fist and cheered for me toĀ āKEEEEP GOIN!!ā and I love the world so much right now
Todayās run was also my first time wearing shorts in public since I stopped shaving, and somehow the world didnāt end?? Itās absurd but thatās the one thing I still feel is a valid reason to boot me out of womanhood.
Day 2 of C25K done! I figure being self-congratulatory can only help. (Especially since these first days donāt feel as easy as I want them to. IāM BARELY RUNNING AND YET. But hey, Iām doing it.)
And now Iāll be catching up on replies and doing my last prompt and also FOOD. Definitely food.
Posting just to make it official to myself– Iāve started c25k. Iāve been wanting to for awhile, because I do like exercise and canāt afford a gym membership right now, but I get really self-conscious about exercising in public (not that my school gym wasnāt public, but I worked myself up to using it and not caring, and running on the sidewalk around my neighborhood feels much more exposed) but!! today I made myself do it!! And it feels good and Iām gonna make myself keep at it.Ā
Because no one ever said saving the world would be easy. Get ready to slay every witch and soldier of Darkness that stands in your wayā¦ and look fabulous while you do it, too!
After getting such awesome feedback from my Sports Anime Workout Routine, I decided to make another one – this time, inspired by the kickass magical girls of the anime world!
Just like before, you donāt need ANY equipment for this routine! No gym membership required – you donāt even have to leave your room or put on real-people pants. (Bless.) If youāre more advanced and want to bump it up a little, add some 5-15 lb. weights on some of the moves, but otherwise, all you need is your body!
Hereās how it works: Queue up all of these songs, whether itās in iTunes, YouTube, SoundCloud, or another music player of your choice. Hit āPlay.ā Your goal is to get through all of the designated exercises before the song is over. If you donāt make it, replay the song until youāre done! Then move on to the next one. Try to rest as little as possible between each exercise (and each song!) for the best results.
If youāre struggling and want to give up, keep pushing. Itās when you want to quit that the magic starts to happen. Believe in yourself and your own abilities. True power comes from within, after all!
PLAYLISTCardio: Sailor Moon Crystal - "Moon Pride"
Arms: Puella Magi Madoka Magica - "Connect"
Legs: Princess Tutu - "Hall Om Mig"
Core: Card Captor Sakura - "Platinum"As always, if you still (somehow) have energy left after all of that, burn it out in the bonus cardio round:
Cardio Burnout: Revolutionary Girl Utena - "Rinbu -Revolution-" (Updated 03.01.15)For more anime-related workouts, check out my workout tag! š
Reblogging because Iāve been doing this, and itās a hell of a workout. My plan was to do this until I figured out a gym membership, but this works more than my usual gym routine (and truthfully, I canāt do all of it yet! I have weak little arms, so I have to keep doing it to work up to the full arms section).
And just having the magical girl theme is really inspiring, so I recommend trying this out if youāre looking for a workout. (But be warned, unless youāre really fit, itāll leave you sore.)
