Couch to 5K

Yikes, it's been way too long since I've posted something.  I guess the biggest thing that's been going on with us is that we are training for our first 5K via the "Couch to 5K" plan that spans over the course of nine weeks.

I just walked in the door moments ago, just finishing my Week 5 Day 3 run, which is to run TWO MILES STRAIGHT.  Ok, for all you athletic people out there, that might seem like nothing, but mind you I have never run anything more than one mile straight in my ENTIRE life.  This was a daunting task, especially given my previous run was to run for 8 minutes, walk five, then run another 8.

So, I feel pretty darn accomplished for the day.  The first two days of Week 6 are easier intervals, then it bumps up to running 2.25 miles straight.  Then 2.5 for three days.  Then 2.75.  Gulp!!

Matt's on Week 7 - he's a much better runner than I am!
