I was so excited to get out and run today. I even bought myself new pants and a jacket to run in. I am doing the couch to 5K program and todays plan was to start off with a 5 minute warm up walk and then alternate 60 seconds of running and 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes. I thought it went really well for my first run in over 10 months. I even ran longer than 60 seconds a couple of times. I mapped my run and I went 1.47 miles. Not too shabby I think. I have decided on the days that I don't run I will make sure to do some other workout, be it Tae-bo, Pilates, or Yoga. I really want to get active again and to be more fit.
Good job Heather!!! Its so hard to start running. I'm still now completely in the groove of things but it is definitely still a struggle. you'll be doing a 5k in no time! we should find one in January and then you can do a race.
