So I mentioned last week that <a title="Earth Day 5k Post" href="http://carolynemigh.com/upcoming-earth-day-5k-and-me/" target="_blank">I'm going to be running a 5K in April</a>.

This weekend, my sister C. asked me how my training was going. I explained that I'd printed out a schedule and that the first thing I did was up and run 5K to see if I could do it instead of following the training schedule. She laughed at me. Then she asked what else I'd been doing and how the training was going.

I told her that on Friday the schedule said that I should walk for 3-5 miles. This seemed kind of boring to me so instead I went to the gym and rode 10 miles on a stationary bike while doing sprints--1 minute slow, 1 minute fast--for 30 minutes and 5 minutes of cool down.

C. nodded along while I told her about my adjustments to the schedule.

Then I explained that the next day on the schedule I printed out was a rest day but that given the fact I'd started the week late, I skipped the rest day and went on a 3 mile run/walk. It was a good thing that I did because I made exactly .11 cents on my run.

I found one dime and a shinny penny on the sidewalk near the corner of 57th and 24th!! What, what?! Nobody told me that running pays!

At this point, my sister looked at me and laughed: So you're not following the training schedule at all then, huna?

Me: when you put it that way, nope.

I guess maybe I should look up a more interesting training schedule. I might also need to buy a better sports bra.
