Friday was actually my first day for my C25K training and I lived to tell you all about it, lol! It had it's ups and downs..I fell like if I can get a grip on my breathing that I could do even better, but that's something that I will have to work on. But I'm excited to do it! I've always wanted to run..and what better time to learn than now? I do have my insecurities though~running outside, in my neighborhood, where there people around every corner that know me live (you know where I am going here)... but surely they have better things to do than to watch a "big girl" wogging (walking/jogging) down the road, right??
~Thought for the day~
Love the weekly goals. I'm also going to be doing the first week of C25K this week. I'm lucky, I live in the country and there is no one around for miles to see me wogging :)
ReplyDeleteI love that you can really measure how you are doing with your goals. They are really countable.
ReplyDeleteOMG, I have the same issues when trying to get my run on! I loved the winter cause not only was it cold so that I wouldn't dies from heat exhaustion but it was dark so no one would see me! LOL... Here we go though, nicer and brighter weather and shedding some insecurities along with the weight:-)
ReplyDeleteGirl, don't even worry about people watching you. Once they see you getting healthier and healthier, they'll be looking at you because you're their new inspiration.
ReplyDeleteKeep it up! And good luck with week 1!
Love it!!! You make my heart sing!
ReplyDeletecant wait to see how your c25k goes!! i have always always always wanted to run toooo!
ReplyDeleteGreat goals. Good luck with the C25K. I did it a few years ago before I gained all my weight back. Great program. Wishing us all the best of luck with this challenge. Stop by my blog sometime. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm doing the C25K as one of my goals as well! Run, Mommy, run!
ReplyDeleteI really want to start C25K (again). I will probably have to wait til next week when we're on spring break to have the time though.
ReplyDeleteGreat goals!
When I started the C25K I ran in the local cemetary. Many many circles!! I knew the headstones by heart til I was finished the first 4 weeks.
ReplyDeleteFor your breathing, concentrate on longer breathes rather than short puffy breathes. Bend you neck slightly downward, this helps open up your chest so you can breathe deeper. Have awonderful week!!
Good luck! I'm going for a 2 pound loss this week too. We CAN do this. :)
ReplyDeleteI completed the Couch25k program back in February. You can do this!! The breathing does get easier. :)
