Getting Started

One foot in front of the other...one foot in front of the other.  Rinse repeat.  Not that hard except that I've never been a runner.  As a matter of fact I've mostly avoided all possible physical activity for most of my life, but today I started Couch to 5K.  

It all started as an idea from a friend, "let's run a 5k. There's one coming up in a few months, we have time to train." she said.  In my head I say, " 5K!  That's 3 miles. I can't run 3 miles, hell I can't climb the stairs without being out of breath."  ...and then I hear myself reply, " YES!  Let's do it!".  Crap.  What have I gotten myself into this time?

So last week I started walking a few miles a day and biking a few miles a day.  Today I did C25K Wk1 Day1.  What a good feeling to be started.  It all starts with one step.  One foot in front of the other.
