Day 1!!

So I have decided that I want to successfully train for a 10K this spring, after watching Jared train for his first full marathon.  I decided blogging could be a really good tool for tracking and accountability after reading another friend's training blog.  Last night I was excited and totally motivated to train for this.  Today I had my Day 1 work out and am now a little intimidated, but still motivated!
I am starting out running on the treadmill, as I can control my speed and get accurate distance measurements.  My goal is to move to more outdoor running in a few weeks or so.

Workout:
Treadmill- Run 1.0mi, walk 0.6mi.  Run pace was 4.8-5.0
Weights:
Leg press 130 lbs- 12 reps- 2 sets
Leg extention 90 lbs- 10 reps- 2 sets
Oblique twist- 20 lbs- 12 reps- 2 sets, each side
Back extention- 70 lbs- 12 reps- 2 sets
Side plank raise- 10 reps- 2 sets, each side
Burpees (extreme)- 10

Calories burned, per HR monitor: 450

Not too bad for Day 1!
