Week 1 - DONE!

So, I finished week 1, and it wasn't nearly as bad as I thought it was going to be. And definitely by the 3rd day, I was getting hooked. I felt myself finding the runs easier. Amazing! I wasn't completely sold that I would be ready to move on to the next challenge after a week, and 3 times during that week, at that. But I was.

So I started Week 2 today. It was, dare I say, easy... the running parts that is. And I actaully felt myself counting down the walking times. AMAZING! :) I can't wait to keep on going.

Once I figure out my auto timer on my cammera, I will be taking before (well week 1) pictures, as well as during and after. I think it will help motivate me to see the changes in myself.

It has been WAY too long

So I completely forgot that I had this blog about my attempts to run. HA! Okay, so I'll fill you in. We left VA (again) and are now in NOLA (New Orleans Louisiana). We've been here for a little over a year and are loving it. I haven't run a 5K yet, but I think this will be my year. I have a very good friend who lives about 45 mins away and she is doing the program as well. I think I have a partner to walk/run a 5K with, until she moves again. The joys of being a military spouse. So, I am starting tomorrow morning with week 1, day 1 and this time, I will finish and run a 5k!

On a side note, DH and I were talking a few weeks back. I am nervous, but excited by the prospect... he only has 6 more years until he's eligible to retire! Wow! We are on year #2 of a 4 year tour (just starting year 2)... so that means, after this tour, we have 3 more years. *unless, of course, he isliking it and is still doing well.. then we're in for a bit longer!) Wow! The prospect of not having to move every 2-4 years is daunting, but kind of reassuring too. I don't know if we are old enough yet for him to retire from the military, though. :D
