I have always thought it would be great to be a runner. Are you a runner? My husband is. But I, most definitely, am not. That is about to change, though.
As one of my fitness goals this year, I have decided to run a 5k with my family on February 27th. Time is slowly ticking away. Last week, I went to the gym every day. I typically walk on the treadmill at 3.5mph for 25 minutes. I warm up and cool down for 5 minutes each. During minutes 10-20, I raise the incline to 5.0. This is what has worked for my weight loss in the past.
Now that I have decided to run, I figured that I had better start trying. The first couple of days, I was able to run 1 minute. At the end of the week, I was running for 2 minutes. Not the kind of progress I was hoping for. Truthfully, I wasn't really trying that hard.
Today, I found a program called Couch-to-5K Running Plan! (Thanks to Pudget! If you aren't already reading her blog, you should be!)
Anyway, I hoping to start week 1 day 1 tonight at the gym. I'll let you know how it goes!
