New venture

I plan to run a 5k in August.  I have never run that distance in my life.  Not even in high school. I have really never run anywhere, period.  I think the last time I voluntarily ran at all was when I played pee wee league soccer.  I figure you people can keep me accountable.  I walked a bit today (about a mile) to start and jogged maybe .25 miles in spurts.  Between my asthma and couch spud ways, its gonna be a battle.

8 little fish:

  1. Couch to 5K! There are apps for iPhone/iPod/Android, or podcasts that you can download to any MP3 player. Totally got me back into running when I was 15 lbs overweight and in very bad shape.

  7. I totally agree, Couch to 5K is a great program. I had to take it a little slower than the schedule though, because I am epically lazy. Good luck!

  8. I am seriously considering doing the same. I keep saying I am going to start running, and never get my sorry ass out of bed to actually do it. I was thinking signing up for a race would motivate me.

    Did you do it today?
