C25K

So, I got this idea from Kaylan's blog when she and her husband, T.J., started it last week and I thought it would be a great way for me to get back into working out and perhaps FINALLY do the Fun Run at Baxter Fun Days, haha.  So, today I started running;) This C25K stands for Couch to 5K and it is a program to help people start running again who have maybe started to "slack" a little.  This is totally me.  My first workout today wasn't too bad at all.  You can check out C25K, but it basically gives you a workout for each week of an 8 week program and it ups the running a little each week.  This first week is: 5 minute warm up walk, then 60 seconds of running followed by 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes straight.  I have a nice little pond with a walking trail very close to my house so I just used that.  As the program goes on you can either keep going by time (which I find kinda annoying bc I don't have a stopwatch or anything and have to carry a watch with me and keep looking at the second hand) or find a track and go by laps/distance.  I think I might have to switch to the track/distance way of doing things after awhile....plus it's getting kinda cold on my poor throat!
