Really a challenge....

In my last post I discussed that I was going to start the couch to 5K plan.  I'm desperate to be a runner and another good friend who is a former chubby girl and is now a jock recommended the plan to me.

So, the game plan was to start the "training" yesterday.   It didn't happen. *sigh*  I woke up majorly pmsy.  It was an awful start to an amazing LONG day.  (I ended up working from 1-9 without a break. *double sigh*)  This morning I woke up crampy and just over it all, but determined to get on this couch to 5K business.

Weeeelll...if you know the plan or don't know the plan here is a link for the treadmill.  Well, I got through about 5 of the one minute runs...and my body was like, seriously...no more.  LOL.  Seriously.  ROFL  It was quite comical, to me.  Even after the failed completed C to 5K run thingy...I ended up getting 50 minutes in on a 4.0 incline.  It all worked out.

Oh well, I will say since the last time I've attempted this plan (yea this is a take 3)...I could do more 1 minute runs without feeling like death will become me.  My knees didn't hurt.  I wasn't intimidated about tackling the plan this time. YaY me!!!

After the gym, I met up with my personal Lumberjack (my nickname for "him".) for lunch and mentioned my Couch to 5K plan...plus my desire to run a 5K.  He looks at me all serious and says..."Okay, I'm doing a 16K and in May we will run a 5K."  Whaaaaaaaaaaa????  Hunh??????  WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA??? *fainting*

Yea...so this Couch to 5K thing has become serious.  #churchpray  LOL
