i love running...

NOT!

Starting this last Monday night, a couple friends of mine and I started running together. Since I am not a runner and have always despised running we are doing the "couch potato to 5K" training schedule. Which, believe it or not is really enjoyable. The first week we do a warm up walk for 5 minutes and then alternate between running for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds. We do this for about 30 minutes and cover 2.5 miles. I really want to get to the point were I love running and hopefully training like this will help me. I am grateful that I have such wonderful motivators as my running buddies. Thank you Amy and Crys!


This is the group who went running on the first night.

I am only planning on running a 5K sometime in August, but one day there may be more running. I hate thinking about that right now!

Good luck - that's exciting. I wish I was motivated to run, good for you.

Ha ha! It's okay, I don't love running either. Maybe by August we both can convince ourselves that we love running. Just lie "I love running, I love running, I love running"
