My First Post!

I'm starting this blog, inspired by Robert Ullrey's blog and the motivation I could possibly give to other people. (I'm also help more accountable.)

This is my third official attempt at the Couch-to-5K program from www.coolrunning.com. I love this program, but babies keep getting in the way! Since I'm no longer preggo and probably won't be ever (knock on wood) this is a great place for me to start, so that I can eventually run a marathon.

Today is a rest day for me. I ran on Monday and Wednesday using Robert's podcasts and it was awesome. I can't stand watching the timer or clock when I'm trying so hard to stay motivated to run for the entire 30 minutes. This made the time pass much more quickly and I was able to rely on him to tell me when to speed up and slow down. That gave my brain some rest time. I ran over 1.5 miles on the treadmill both days, and it wasn't hard. I was mildly sore after the first day, but not so sore that I couldn't move.

I'm hoping I feel much better tomorrow. I've been sick all week. Tomorrow will be my last run in Week One. I'm not sure I'm ready to move up to the next week, but I'm going to see what happens. I'll post more when I get there.
