Couch to 5K



Well, I was inspired by a fellow Sewing Mama by her post of her new slimmer, fit body. She started with the C25K a year ago and she's down 3 pant sizes!! I know I need to get in shape and I'd like to try to shed a few inches so I am diving into the C25K! Went for my first run tonight.

Five minute warm up walk followed by alternating cycles on 60 seconds jogging and 90 seconds walking for 20 minutes and then finishing up with a five minute cool down walk. I wanted to give up around the halfway mark, but I stayed with it and I feel great (by great I mean even though my poor legs are screaming in pain at me right now I feel awesome). I'm going to do my next run on Saturday and I'm going to have to get me some running shoes. The shoes I have now are NOT going to cut it. Hoping Academy will have a pair that won't break the bank.

Tonight I did 4 1/2 laps around the track (2 1/8 lap= 1 mile)
