child at heart

Well, 2 things on my 40 before 40 list are to complete a 5K and a 10K.

BUT…. I LOATHE running. I am fat – that is a fact. (I am working on this though.) So running is not enjoyable for me. In 2012 I ran 4 5K races. Those were so hard because I had not been diagnosed with asthma yet and I felt like I was going to die. Thankfully, this is not the issue anymore. But running is still not a fan favorite of mine because it is hard on my large body.

Anywho…. I know in order to be able to complete a 5k and 10k I will need some sort of training. And I also know that the Couch to 5K comes highly recommended. So here we are today… starting the Couch to 5K program.

It was NOT pretty but it WAS DONE. Day 1 of training went like this…

I also have officially registered for a 5K race in my area in a few months. I have 12.5 weeks to get ready because now that I have started I would like to actually run/jog the whole thing if possible.
