I've always admired runners. I envy their cool running gear, their ability to rise before the sun and function, and their commitment. They are like their own little club.
I personally have always enjoyed breathing and since I can not breathe and run at the same time I do not run.
But a few people I know have had a lot of success with a program called The Couch to 5k Training Plan. Apparently it is for people like me who start out literally sitting on the couch (possibly with a Pepsi and Cheezits in their hands, but that could just be me) admiring the people who post their runs on Facebook. After 10 magical weeks, they are able to not only run, but BREATHE at the same time. This is an incredible idea for me and I'm ready to accept the challenge.
While I'm at it I thought it might be beneficial to focus on myself as a total package. I do not expect to become a perfectly organized, gorgeous, supermom in 10 weeks but I thought it might be good to focus on the inside at the same time I try to get my outside to fit into my jeans before cold weather sets in. I also thought it might be good because then if don't do so well with the whole 5k thing, at least I will have accomplished something.
Since I'm starting on this journey I thought it might be good to document my failures and successes. I think it will give me some accountability. I can't talk myself out of it if I know someone (anyone) might be checking up on me. Do I think I will finish the C25k program? I hope so. Do I think I will do it all in only 10 weeks? I doubt it. Am I going to try? Certainly.
So, please check back with me and see how I'm doing. I will be posting about the C25k attempt, my efforts to grow spiritually, and my struggle to maintain sanity as a stay at home mom, wife, and the best ME I can be.
I start tomorrow. There I said it, now to make it happen. Wish me luck!
