Running a 5k?!?!

Well, so far the week is going pretty good. Had a couple of moments where I chose the comfort part instead of optimal health, but baby steps it is sometime. The great part is I've felt so much better that I wanna start running. Let me give you some background here. I HATE RUNNING! I played softball all the way through high school and played volleyball (and part of the tryouts was I think a mile run) but always hated the running part! (Notice that those two sports are active, but not running all the time). Well, this new energy and wanting to be healthy with the six pack abs (that I once had in high school) has got me thinking. I've looked for workout programs to get the belly flab down and everyone stresses the cardio! So.....I'm gunna start couch to 5k. I'm looking for the best app that coaches me through it and I'm gunna take it easy. Part of the program I'm on says not to work out your body too hard so I'm going to be careful, which might mean adding an extra meal/snack in there. I'm very excited and hopefully by the end of the program I can find a 5k to run in! What an accomplishment that will be!! I'm excited needless to say. My weigh day is Monday so I'll know the official loss for the week, but right now I'm back down to 171 which means I've lost 3.2 for the week. Still have 2 more lbs to get back to where I was before I fell off the program. I'm going to do this!!! So now I'll have something more to blog about. Can't wait!!!
