C25K day 2
I just got back from completing week 1 day 2 of the Couch to 5K running program. I had downloaded a podcast from here that has fast/fun music plus voice-over of when to warmup/walk/run/cooldown, etc. Thankfully, it played on my Blackberry. I prayed a WHOLE lot during it! I know I can do this. I want to do this. And thankfully, I was able to do this today. As of right this second, I'm not actually looking forward to doing it again on Thursday, but. . .I can. And I will. Then, again, on Saturday. it will switch up on Monday and have more running. Today for me, the running was actually much easier than it was on Sunday - which is of course, what's supposed to happen. I ran it VERY slowly, but I was running/jogging and wanted to be able to complete the entire program for the day, and I did, so I'm more than satisfied with the speed I went. The biggest accomplishment - I went. (Even after I had not been able to find my keys for the first 30 minutes I was ready to go! BOo!) My legs hurt very badly at the end, and the "brisk walking" for recovery was more like "somehow keep moving forward", but still. I did it at the Greenway, and I think I will continue to do it there for awhile. #1 It's pretty 2. It's public, but at the same time secluded 3. Ok. so I only have 2 reasons for right now, but oh well. :)

Keep on keeping on! YOu're doing AWESOME! You'll be amazed how you improve the more you do it and the more you stick to it.
Awesome! You can so do this, girl. Today is my day two also ... waiting for hubs to get home so I can go run. :)
Good for you. I keep telling myself I'm going to get up and be ready before the kids (including a small cardio workout and reading scriptures) but it has yet to happen. Congrats on meeting some goals!
