So I officially started January 1. I put my plan in motion and started- Since I started my blog on day 2 I am going to post the 2 together with hopes of a entry a day!
Day 1 (1/1/13)- Today with the recommendations of friends, I downloaded the app couch to 5k to help me get started. I worked on my ipod (getting new music to make me move and got rid of some that would be less motivating!) I did research on shoes I may like (cheap ones incase- I don't complete my goal!)
Day 2 (1/2/13)- Today I got my running shoes! Well, they are bought and in the box until 1/30/13- My birthday! My mom bought them for me but I have to wait until my birthday! They are a bright orange-pink color. I did start the couch-2-5k today. It's a 30 min day 1 exercise that you walk for like a min. and a half than run a min. You alternate for 20 min (with a 5 min. warm up and 5 min cool down). Surprisingly, the running wasn't so bad. I enjoyed it. My only problem is that I almost fell trying to dance while on the treadmill. But my stats for today are I walked/jogged 1.73 miles and the program estimated I did a 17. something mile. (which sounds horrible and I'm embarrassed) I guess if I ran the whole time it would have been faster. I have 2 more days I have to do this week. The program is suppose to have me 5k ready in 9 weeks. This may be a challenge!
