So, my friend Cadence turned me on to this program called C25K, or couch to 5k. It is a nine week running program that is designed to help you get off the couch, or the computer chair as the case may be, and run a 5k race. It is a great program that anyone can do. I am just starting week 2. The first week consisted of a five minute warm-up walk, then run for 60 seconds and walk for 90. You keep that pattern up for 20 minutes and then a five minute cool down walk. I am really hoping to be able to run a 5k when it's all said and done. I'm also hoping that after 9 weeks of running I'll lose a pant size or two. We shall see!
