Tomorrow begins my training three times a week (Monday- Wednesday- Friday) for a 5k run that I hope to have the opportunity to do sometime later this year.
This is from the Couch to 5K program, and even though I’m not exactly what you’d consider a couch potato- I’m definitely a beginner when it comes to running. I am looking forward to seeing how this goes and hopefully running a race with my friend Micha when we are home for the holidays.
I really need to invest in a good pair of running shoes, but for now that will wait. I may be sorry late, but I will use the shoes I’ve been practice running in since they’ve worked just fine up until now. I’m planning on tossing some elliptical in the mix on the off days along with some strength training to burn extra calories and hopefully get the scales moving again in the downward direction. It’s not that long until our trip and I have a lot to accomplish between now and then. 7 is going to come mighty early each morning, but once I get used to it, I’m sure I’ll be fine.
Feel free to join me if you’d like.
Count me in. I began with 60 minutes of 30 seconds run , 30 seconds walk at 5am this morning

Way to go!!!! I did the 20 minutes, but I walked 10-15 minutes each way to get to the place where I wanted to run- It’s pavement on a secluded road where there isn’t much traffic.
