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

Grinding, Grinding....
I'm back on my grind....again. I've been back on it for 2 weeks. I've done 6 days a week and grinding. LOL
So my new challenge....I want to do a Couch to 5K training thingy. LOL I go to the gym daily with a friend and he has a trainer who makes him do daily challenges. I mentioned the Couch to 5K and he's down. He can barely run a mile and he wants to impress his trainer with it.
I on the other hand am desperate to run. Plain and simple. I have a major gig in 9 weeks and it would be amazing if my gown was too big. I know makes no sense, but it is what it is. Since I have 9 weeks to learn and memorize a ton of music...I'll get my body up for a run. YaY me!
Monday...new grind, new challenge....continuing on Weight Watchers.
(BTW...I plan on updating regularly....seriously...)
