New Plan
February 4, 2010
I’ve always said that I can’t run. At least that I don’t do it well. Usually running is reserved for chasing the little one or running from danger. Thankfully the latter doesn’t happen much. I decided though that it didn’t make sense for me to not even try. Why accept failure before giving it a shot? I downloaded an app for running called Couch to 5K onto the iPhone. So far I’ve completed the first day. I know that isn’t much but, truth be told, it’s more than I have ever done. My goal is to run the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure that is being held here in May. Theoretically, I have enough time to be able to do it. Logically, my mind is ready for it. Physically, I will be there by the deadline. Emotionally, I can’t even wrap my head around it. I’ve told myself for the past 3 years that I will run it the next year. I never do. I always end up walking it. This year, I’m going to run it. Ok. So now it’s out there. Let’s start the countdown.

You go girl! You can do it! =)
I started running again when I was at 240+, if I can do it you can.

Have to say, once I completed the couch-to-5k, it felt so good to know that I actually could run for 30 minutes without stopping.
Of course, at my pace that didn’t mean I could run 3 miles without stopping, but it gave me the confidence and the foundation to actually make it to the 3 mile point.
As of this morning, I have now run 3 miles without a break
And if I can do it… you certainly can!
