Couch to 5K

I started my training yesterday and I am using a training method that you can find all over the internet, it's called Couch to 5K. There are many different sites that show the workout and training plan, but this is the one that I am using. If you have an iPhone there is even an app for it!

I also joined the website Daily Mile to use for tracking my workouts and keep in touch with others doing the same. I think that it is really great for getting encouragement from others trying to get in or keep in shape.

So, if everything works out right, in 12 weeks (or less) I should be able to run 30 minutes straight, with no walking, and run at least 3 miles in that time...I hope to be able to do it!

And hopefully in 12 weeks I can finish a 5k and you can sure as heck bet that I will be as happy as this girl when I complete my goal!

Goal Setting and Running

So I'm totally out of shape and I have made a decision to try and change that...I have decided to train for a 5k. I enjoy being outside, I live somewhere that it is sunny about 360 out of 365 days of the year, I feel amazing when I workout on a consistent basis and I signed up for the weight loss challenge at work so I figured why not try something new? Why not get in shape and accomplish something that I have always wanted too?

My goal is to sign up for a race that will take place sometime in December, so that gives me three months to train and I am really motived to do this! I am a little scared, but I know that with determination and consistency this goal is possible...Tomorrow training starts and I AM READY!

Wish me luck...
