C25K Week 3...It's about time

I finally started week 3 yesterday, when I should have been starting week 4 :-/ All this moving has had me exhausted. Just when I thought I was starting to make some progress with unpacking my sister and my niece decided to come to visit. I was expecting them to come spend a few days with me, but not until I finished unpacking. This slowed my progress to getting almost nothing done!

I have been unpacking my things during the day by myself since FI is in training for 12 hours a day. At night I have been going to his place to help him do some things for work. Today is his last day for training. He still has some things he has to get done before Friday. I hope to work on some of them today so we can actually spend some time together other than work!

Anyway, I finished day 1 of week 3 yesterday. I planned on doing it on the treadmill so I could see how far i was running and at what speed. I stepped into the gym of my new apartment complex and the treadmills they have in there have to be the first ones EVER built. They were so old and the didn't work at all. I decided to do it on the elliptical (I know it's not the same thing but it was hot). It looked a little newer but it squealed like crazy so that lasted all of 2 minutes. I finally sucked it up and ran outside. It was a little awkward to run around the parking lots but I was determined to get it done. I did find out we have a car wash on site that I didn't know about. lol. I didn't get as winded as I expected to after not running at all for over a week. It was a little easier than I expected...I guess those hills and the high elevation in Asheville really did make a difference for me! I got really tire during the last jogging interval and I was glad the workout was almost over! I'll plan on driving to FI's and running around campus until classes start back and I can go to the nice gym on campus.
