Alright, a few days back I shared this bizzare urge I have to run. On the WW message boards a lot of people talk about the couch to 5K running program. So tonight I get the brainy idea to google it and give it a shot. I managed the first day of the program which is a brisk 5 minute warm up walk followed by 60 seconds of jogging and then 90 seconds of walking until you repeat this pattern for 20 minutes (25 minute total workout). As I was doing it, I decided if I made it to 20 minutes total I could quit and call it a great first effort. In that walking interval at 20 minutes I figured I'd only have to run two more times and I could do that, right?

I DID IT! I've not been this sweaty in a long time, but it feels good to know I could do it. I'm thanking my heavenly stars I decided to just workout in my sports bra and capris tonight as a shirt would have done me in I'm sure.

I'm going to start sticking to a weights and stretching workout at the gym and see how far I can go with this running thing at home.

Also, have any of you done pilates or yoga? I'm thinking of giving them a try to increase my flexibility and core strength.
