Wow, so it's apparently been 3 months since I've updated my blog. Shame on me!
The good news is that I have been busy in that time. After starting and stopping the Couch 2 5K program three times I am pleased to report I just finished Week 5. In fact, today was a big milestone. Every other day so far has had running and walking intervals interchanging. Today I just had to run 20 minutes. I say 'just' but that is a BIG deal for me.
I could never do the mile run in high school gym class. I was actually an athlete in high school, playing tennis and softball, but running was not my thing. As I've worked through these weeks of training I have definitely noticed the change in my running ability. I have lost a few pounds, not a lot yet though. That will come. Once I can run the 5K I plan to make running a regular part of my routine!
So today was a pretty big deal. The girl who couldn't do the mile just ran more than a mile. The best part was that I felt good at the end, not like I was going to die. Haha!
I promise to keep better tabs on the blog, especially as I train for my first 5K. It's only weeks away it seems! :)
