C25K - Couch to 5K. I had started this program back in May and had every intention of completing it. Then something called summer classes started and I was a little busy (two 3-credit classes (one of which I was re-doing my entire notes for a book change) I was teaching, plus a 3-credit independent study and student research). Ok, enough complaining. I had gotten through only the first 3 weeks of the program (see here).
Now, I would like to get back to it. I have found a 5K to register for (November 19th) to keep me motivated. A friend is even willing to do it with me! Now that I have put it in writing that should give me more motivation.
The program is literally designed to take you from the couch to running a 5K in 9 weeks (I have about 12 weeks to get ready!). With as much as I want to do this to show everyone that I can do it, I really want to show myself that I can do it. Running is one thing I just chalked myself up to not being good at and have continuously used it as an excuse. So now, I hope to prove myself wrong and do it! Please keep me honest and give me encouragement through the program. I'll try to post about it once a week to see how it is going for me!
Oh, and in completely unrelated news, I got those shoes I wanted :)
I really need to start up again. I am waiting for more favorable weather and to get a couple of trips out of the way. Sounds like more excuses to me but we'll see
ReplyDeleteI just started this up again too. Well, I'm on week 5 but it's all relative. I did it the first time right before I found out I was pregnant with my 2nd child so I chose to quit. This time seems harder but maybe that means I have more work to do(: Good luck to you!
ReplyDeleteI found you through the Roll Call at Blue-Eyed Bride. I love finding other KY bloggers!
Thanks Danielle! We'll have to keep each other on it! I'll pop by your blog soon here too!
ReplyDeleteI need to get back to working out as well... I miss it!
ReplyDeleteI'm finally back running again. Wish I would have been when you were here to run with. Do you follow BenDoesLife? Amazing story and inspiration and a very funny guy!
