Since I am trying to get back in shape, I need to add some physical activity. I decided to start the Couch to 5K program. I chose this because I have a toddler who goes with me for whatever activity I choose. I thought running would be a good choice since she will be sitting in a stroller the whole time. I have to say I was skeptical. I used to run, in high school. Once I graduated I never ran again. Part of me really wants to be able to run. This part of me would really like to finish a 5k race. Not just participate, but finish. I do not care about my time or placement; it is more about finishing.
There is also a part of me that really does not want to run. This is the part of me that enjoys sitting on the couch with my nose in a book. Or, staying in bed for a little while longer. The procrastinator.
Well, I am happy to say that I did start running! And you know what? I felt great! I would recommend this program to others. It is a gradual start, and broken into increments that are attainable. Now I just have to keep it up! Wish me luck!
