{january photo-a-day challenge}

I love this idea of taking one photo each day.

Ordinary little memories captured, and it's fun!

So I joined in on Fat Mum Slim's challenge for January...

you . breakfast . something you adore

letter box . something you wore . makes you smile

favorite . your sky . daily routine

childhood . where you sleep . close-up

in your bag . something you're reading . happiness

morning . water . something you bought

sweet . someone you love . reflection

your shoes . something old . guilty pleasure

something you made . color . lunch

light . inside your fridge

nature . you again

Did you do this challenge in January?

If you've posted about it on your blog,

leave me a link so I can check it out!

Will you be joining me in February?

couch to 5k {weeks 5-7}

I can hardly believe that I'm starting

week 8 of the couch to 5k today.

It's been hard.

The farther you get in the program,

the longer you have to jog,

the less walking breaks you get {if you get any!},

the more you have to push.

But I've been trying.

I push myself to at least finish each workout,

even if it's super slow.

Friday was an encouragement to me.

I jogged the full 25 minutes,

went 2.70 miles, 12:56 min/mile.

Best distance & time yet!

It's still slow, I know, but so much better!

I'm excited to finish these last 2 weeks of the program,

and hopefully improve on my speed as I go.

If you've just started C25k, I encourage you to stick with it,

even when it gets tough. Now it feels good to actually jog for that long.

When I started, I could barely jog for a minute without being super worn out!

I can be proud of what I've accomplished so far. :)

Happy Monday!
