Couch to 5k

I LOVE this program! I really like to run, but it's been years(a lot of years) since I have been able to do it with ease and distance. When I was trying to find something to get me back in the swing of things I found this program. It seemed almost to good to be true. Couch to 5k in 9 weeks?? Are they serious? Don't they know how out of shape I am?? I am now a believer. I ran 5 minutes straight tonight, and while I was ready to stop when my time was up, I'm sure I could have keep going if I had to. Actually I know I could have if I had to. Over on the right is a countdown to my first 5k. My friend Jen and I are doing it together and I'm stoked!! A 5k! That might as well be a million miles to me. It's going to take training and dedication but I know I can do it. I want this to be 'my thing'. I can't wait to say, "I'm a runner' or 'Ya, I like to run' or 'Oh, I can't, I'm doing a 5k this weekend'!! Hehehehe, good night all~!

I know you can do it too! I love running, when I'm motivated enough to do it. 5K's are great, though I've only ever done them on the treadmill at the gym. Maybe we should plan one when we get together!

super excited for you! I remember trying out for track with you and you threw up b/c we had to do so much running. Mom couldnt afford good track shoes for me so I didnt stay in track.

PS personally I like the weekend excuse best!
