Day 3 training for my first 5k

2025/1/23 Edited to

... Read moreDay 3 of training for my first 5K has been an exhilarating experience! It’s hard to believe that I’m actually enjoying running, a notion that never crossed my mind before. This past week, I’ve been following the C25K (Couch to 5K) program, which is perfect for beginners like me. The program is designed to help novice runners gradually build their stamina and confidence with a mix of walking and running workouts. I made it through the first week, and I can genuinely say I feel stronger and motivated! As I lace up my running shoes for each session, I remind myself that every step is a win, no matter how small. There’s a vibrant community of beginner runners out there who share my enthusiasm, and utilizing hashtags like #5ktraining and #beginnerrunner have helped me connect with others on similar journeys. It's inspiring to see everyone supporting each other in this fitness endeavor. I can't wait to share my progress as I continue through Week 2 and beyond!

Three baby training cups are displayed: a beige silicone cup with a straw and handles, a clear mini glass cup, and a gray silicone cup. The image is titled 'baby cups training baby'.
A hand holds a beige silicone cup with a straw and handles. Text indicates it's for 6m+, has a removable lid, and is squeezable, ideal for learning to drink from a straw.
A hand holds a clear mini glass cup. Text states it's for 12m+ and is great for practicing with glass, helping babies transition to more delicate materials.
BABY TRAINING CUPS🥛
out of baby learning how to eat solids, I find that finding the perfect cup for your baby is the hardest part. Because they have to learn how to sip and use straws which takes a lot of motor skills. It can truly be intimidating at first, but here are a few of my favorite trainer cups for babies.

Half Marathon Training Plan
Last week I ran my first half marathon in almost 2 years!! I had taken a break from longer distances and stuck to 5 and 10Ks for a while since that’s what I enjoy most! But training for this half helped me get motivated to do longer runs and actually ignited a new love for longer (for me) runs!
