I don't know about the rest of you but I've never really been a runner. I've always been a somewhat "active" person. My husband and I have taken our boys tent camping, riding bike trails, and hiking in the Great Smoky Mts, but I've never been a runner. I'm not really sure why I wanted to start running but it was one of the best decisions I've made. I did a little research on beginning running programs. I looked at Jeff Galloway and Couch to 5k just to name a couple. I chose the C25K because I couldn't run very far for very long in the beginning. Week 1 I ran for 60 secs at a time.
Well, yesterday I ran W7D1 and ran 25mins without stopping. I am so proud of myself and so thankful for the Cool Runnings website and their wonderful Couch to 5K beginning running program. I will be ready for my first 5K on the 16th and am hoping to finish in less than 30 minutes but any time will be a PR! :-)
