Couch to 5K Week 1

Monday, April 14, 2008


This is it!!! I have BEGUN! WooHoo! Yeehaw!

I tried to run last week but that was the week my body went into shock and said "What the HECK are you trying to do to me?? I am comfortable in these fat layers just eating chips and laying around watching TV!!" By today I was able to tell my body, "Too bad, I am GOING TO DO THIS!" and I did! I made it through day one. My legs are tired, but it really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. THANK GOODNESS the guy on the podcast keeps cheering you on and pushing you the way he does, that really helped or I probably would have stopped.

I am so motivated to stick with it and accomplish this. There are weekly runs in Fayetteville so when I am ready to get out there and try a 5K there will always be one to run even if it's not a true race.

Now I am going to plan to get better shoes as soon as I can, ones that are fitted for me and quality made.

By the way - the body up there is the body I WANT TO HAVE. Geez, she's like perfect. I am thinking about taking my own head shot and pasting it over her body. That's definitely a goal to work for. Do you think she ever had children? I doubt it, she's probably just 18yo...LOL, just kidding. Well no matter the final results, I WILL be healthier, I WILL be thinner, and I will be HAPPY with my results. That's all I really want anyway.

    Well B4 - Good luck to you! A couple of coworkers started that last week as well. I'm supposed to start with them tomorrow, but they're already a week ahead of me. I told them I couldn't start that program because I'd start an earthquake while attempting to run. If you feel the rumbles in Springdale tomorrow evening, you'll know I'm giving it a shot. Likely the rumbles will stop and the sirens will start, but I'm bound and determined not to quit this time. I wish you luck!!
