I am quite certain I never thought of myself as a runner. But from today on, I will. I am not in shape, I am a shape - round. And I might need to repeat the first weeks in order to not hurt myself. But I need goals. I need something that is cheap and available at different times of the day. Something I can do without getting in the car. I need to get fit. Get fit or risk getting so overweight that there will be no return!
I have friends who run and they love it. I have heard plenty about the C25K program and I am going to do it. This means "Couch to 5K" - about three miles in 30 minutes at the end of 9 weeks.
I might not make it in nine weeks. I did my first session today, and alternating 1 min jogging to 1 1/2 walking was a bit much, so I lengthened the walking to two minutes. I am plenty sore tonight, so I think I will continue with that this week and decide at the start of next week whether I should move straight to week 2 or do a redo on week with the correct time. That's the great thing about the C25K program - it's flexible. The MOST important part is the committment. 3X a week. Keep on going. Be the fit mama I long to be.
Next run on Tuesday! Tomorrow will be House Fitness - laundry, floor sweeping and mopping, raking. Plenty of time for listening to Latinum, the Latin learning podcast!
