C25K

Running.....like the wind I have bricks on my feet.
So I finally stepped up to the fitness plate and said...MORE EXCUSES NO MORE EXCUSES  you are going to start the Couch to 5 K program for the 2nd time TONIGHT!

I did the C25K program a few years ago and lost weight and ran 3K's & 5K's...and felt AMAZING and then.......I quit. NEVER QUIT.

First I sat around in my sweats for about 20 minutes trying to think of every reason to not get on the deadmill. Then I decided to vacuum, load the dishwasher, and fold a load of laundry. Workout complete right?!?

Well I finally got out my IPOD and started the C25K program and started walking on the treadmill. I swear it is amazing to me just how fast you can fall out of shape. Here I was walking along at a slow 3.0 and felt out of breath. If you have done the program after a five minute warm up the torcher  running begins. A quick 45 second run and I thought I was dying. I was breathing heavy and telling myself I couldn't do it. What was I thinking I'm bigger now (205) than I have ever been. Maybe people over 200 lbs can't run. Then I think...hello BIGGEST LOSER....DUH.  Mind you I am doing all of this back and forth in my head.

I suck it up and finish the 30 minutes....even though I was sure I was dying. I made it to tell you the story today...I know SHOCKING working out didn't kill me.

I am signed up for the Color Run 5K  on June 1st and the Warrior Dash on Aug 3rd. I am also trying to line up a few more runs to keep my butt on track.
