I officially start the training program on Monday -- which will be one week and six days -- not quite 2 weeks, but I like starting things on a Monday. This program is one I came up with after looking at many on the internet. I chose a 6-day a week plan because it really keeps me focused and I don't think it's too rigorous -- the off running days have me doing Pilates or walking -- not a big deal. Of course, I plan to continue some strength training and will update those modifications to this blog as I go.
And, for the record, I have not registered for a 5K even thought it says I will be running one at the end of the program. I may register for one, but I'm pretty motivated as is right now and don't want to over-pressure myself.
Please feel free to use my easy 5K program -- I call it the Postpartum Return to Running Program :) After I complete the program, my plan is to call up my friend Mel for a nice "long" Sunday run!!! Just click on the image below for a larger one.

Dear Jamie! Thank you very much for sharing your plan. I had severe preeclampsia during childbirth and my BP remained high for months at the end my heart specialist said that I should get active and I am really looking forward to run 5k.
