A New Purpose

Treece's Pieces was meant to be a blog about our little family. Well, life got in the way and other adventures appeared (check out the photography blog) so I haven't written anything in almost a year. SO - previous posts have been removed and this is turning into a documentation of my 5k training for at least the next 9 weeks. Why 9 weeks?  Because 9 weeks from today, I will be participating in my very first 5k - The Color Run in Oklahoma City!

*The workout plan*
Couch to 5k - This is a 9 week (convenient, eh?) workout plan that literally gets you from couch potato to 5k runner! You start out with alternating between walking and jogging and *BOOM!* 9 weeks (and a ton of hard work) later, you are running the 3.1 miles start to finish. You can find more details of this 3 day a week workout here. Read more about how C25k works here.
Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred - I have tried lots of DVD workouts in the past and this one whips my rear end in only 25 minutes. Since C25k is only 3 days a week, I will be using 30DS on supplemental workout days.
Yoga - I was lucky enough to win a handful of classes from McP Hot Yoga Studio about a month ago and haven't even had the chance to use them yet. BUT that changes this week! I have decided to go to the Restorative Yoga class on Wednesdays for a change of pace.
