Couch to 5k in 90 days?
Sure! Why not!
Carolyn and I have decided to take on the Couch to 5K challenge and started running last week. Man, it's been WAY too long since I ran anywhere (car is faster...) and my legs certainly felt it. With the program you start by alternating between jogging and walking and move up from there.
The day after our first run/walk was...interesting. My quads (which are more like monos at this point) complained all day about having to hold up my bulk. I promised them I would ease their burden...somehow.
Actually, rather than running tonight we walked about 8k. Ok, there was a short stop over at Tim Horton's at the 4k mark, but we still walked 8k, so shut up.
Walking that distance felt like a breeze compared to the run/walk of 3k. Ya ya, it'll get easier, but for now I am going to complain a bit.
I've been having a few weird feelings in my chest recently, so I have been to see the doc am and having things checked out, but so far everything looks fine. It's probably the stress of deciding what to watch on TV this fall. "What?! No Heroes or Lost?!!" Since things checked out fine with the ticker we figured we should get out there and get in shape. Being 40 shouldn't feel so old. ;)
Ok, back to my ice packs, A535 and Tylenol!! Cya!
