I thought I was out of shape...

And I was right! Last night was rough! But I'm not giving up. Even though I couldn't run all of the intervals, I did run a couple of them, and I walked the rest of the time without stopping. Even that's an improvement over my usual couch potato self!

We run again Thursday! Goal for Thursday: Run at least half of the intervals.

Put on Your Running Shoes...

Ok, so it's more like dig them out of the bottom of the closet. I can admit that I'm not great ... ok make that I'm really bad ... about working out. When I do it all the time, I actually enjoy it, but I have trouble getting started, and I get distracted ... ok make that I make excuses ... alot.

But that ends today (I hope!). Laura and I are starting Couch to 5K tonight! It's a 9 week running program for people who aren't runners (like me!). We'll probably take more than 9 weeks to get through it (most of what I've read says most people take at least 12). It also only requires exercise 3 times a week (totally doable) and it transitions you up slowly from walking to jogging.

You can find the plan here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

Now for the goal: Allison (other little sister) is on student council this year and they're working a Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure later in the year. We want to be able to do more than walk it, we want to be able to run it!

In hopes of keeping myself accountable, I'm going to post how the workout goes every week. If you don't see a post here 3 times a week (we're aiming for Tuesday, Thursday, Saturday), call me on it!

That's all for now... week 1 starts tonight! I'll let you know how it goes.

Bad Blogger

I am such a bad blogger. I'm going to attempt to update this a little more often. Hopefully with pictures of the apartment if I can ever find my camera cord!

We haven't been up to much, other than working and playing with the puppy, but we did get to go see Wicked in Austin last weekend. That was amazing! Steven even loved it. I think I've finally convinced him that Broadway is good! Next stop ... Mary Poppins during the fair (I hope!).

School starts tomorrow, and it's the first time in my entire life, that I'm not going back! It's a very strange feeling. I'm not sure I like it! I miss buying school supplies :(

Work is going to be nuts this week, but I'm hoping to update at LEAST once a week! We'll see how that goes.
