13 Week Walk/Run Program - Week 4 - Day 3

February 19, 2010 by Rebecca

I am extremely proud to say I've completed 4 full weeks of the 13 week walk/run program! Yay Me!

This is a pretty huge accomplishment for me and I'm still excited to keep going. Next week the intensity bumps up again and I'm a little nervous but I've met all of the challenges so far so I'm pretty sure it will be fine; I'll give it my best shot anyway!

Last night I started re-reading The Beginning Runner's Handbook and even though I read it before I started the program, I saw things that didn't register with me before but now I have some personal experience they make perfect sense.

For example:

Running is good for your skin. Running stimulates circulation, transporting nutrients and flushing out waste products. The result is less subcutaneous fat and clearer skin.

Just last week I had started noticing how much nicer my skin looked. I'm interested in seeing more changes brought about by running. What about you? Any experience in this matter? Let us know in the comments section!
