Mission: 5K



So recently Brandon and I have been noticeing that we are no longer in shape and have made the desicion to start working out and eating betther. We feel that we are way too young to be feeling the way we do now. I know myself all too well to know that if I do not set a goal then I will work out for maybe 2 days and then get tired of it and quit, so I set a goal. My goal is to run a 5K (3.125 miles) by November of this year. Running for me was always a time for me when I could do a lot of thinking by myself and release some stress, on the few occasions I did run. I found this great app on my iphone called Couch to 5K and started the program this morning bright and early at 5AM (which isn't really bright). It was really hard to wake up but once I actually got out of bed and got myself and Bronx ready to go, it was very nice and I enjoyed it! For someone more fit than me, my 30 minutes of walking and jogging would have been a walk in the park but for me (who hasn't worked out since high school) it was harder than I thought. I am really excited about this and I hope to complete my goal. Brandon has been a big support. Now I need to actually find a 5K to run. Any suggestions?
