OUCH

In my journey to running for a 5K and getting into shape, I have just started the Couch to 5K program.

This is thanks to my friends Tanya and Cec. (Thanks for inflicting the pain on me!) However, they have been a great support for me and trying to figure it all out.

Since I had been running (if you want to call it that) I figured I could jump into week 4. Ya....big mistake. I couldn't finish it. It looked it easy, until I went to do it! So last night I went and started week 3. It was still tough, but I got through it.

I am achy this morning! I am not sure if it was from last night or that I was had been going every night for the past 6 days.

I think I am taking a break today. My body will thank me tomorrow!

Running

I got the great idea of telling someone I would run with them in a 5K race. Yes, I had several martini's in me when I agreed. She is still holding me to it!

The problem?

I don't run and I am out of shape.

The race is in June. *sigh* I guess it is a great goal for me to reach for.

I started the other day. Sam came with me. Thank god. I was trying to get my butt up a hill and she yelled "Come on! You are lucky I came with you, now get up the hill!" So nice when your 15 year old is coaching you to move!

We walked, ran, walked, ran. It was the only way I could do it. I just came back from another run. I did slightly better today. I did put some fun music on my iPod to get me through it. It worked!

I am determined to do it! I know I can. I just need to get over the first few hurdles of pain.
Hopefully I will have a smaller booty by June too! WAHOO!
