I officially started training today for the Warrior Dash. I wanted to start by getting a baseline of how long it takes me now to run a straight 5k. So, with the help of Google Earth and an online application I found which measures GE paths, I mapped out a 5k loop through town.
The outcome: at what I would estimate as 80% effort (I didn't want to go all out on this run and have a stroke when I got home) it took me 33:59 to finish the 5k loop.
My goal for tonight is to come up with a 20-minute general strength training routine which I'll alternate with the Couch to 5k program, which I'll start on tomorrow.
