Couch to 5k


Call me insane, but I am feeling motivated to start this Couch to 5k program!  I have been thinking about it for a LOOOONG time, but when I hurt my legs over the summer, the idea was put on hold. 

I am still hesitant to start because my right leg, especially, still doesn't feel completely healed, but I am hoping and praying that good stretching will keep me from re-injuring myself. 

I have never really enjoyed running because I never felt like I had great endurance, despite my junior high that's middle school to all you kids of today PE teacher trying to convince me otherwise because he thought that I had a great pace to be a distance runner. 

I still have to get some good shoes.  Anyone who knows me knows that I loathe shoes.  It is one of the reasons why I love toe socks so much...I can keep my feet warm and still wear flip flops.  Tacky?  Maybe, but I hate, hate, hate shoes.  I say that I have claustrophobic feet.  True story.  Anywho, I went by the running store today and they were so busy, I had to leave.  I will try again tomorrow to get my man feet sized for a good running shoe.

Ok, so this isn't even a New Year's Resolution to be broken.  This is truly my desire to try and get in better shape.  I was pleased that my Wii Fit Age was 3 years less than my actual age and Scott's was 9 years older than his actual age...HA!  But, I know that is just a game and should not be an excuse to not try to be in better shape for myself and long term for my family. 

I am going to invite everyone to either, A) Join me, B)  Encourage me, or C) Both

Pressure's on...I have gone public!  LOL!
