We have a very special new series on CC!!! One of our readers has
started a Couch to 5K program with the goal of running the JINGLE BELL 5K in December in Madison.
And I am SOOOOOOO excited ... because she's agreed to let us all
come along for the ride. Well, the run, I guess, really. She's going to keep us
posted on what it's like to start running.
How cool is that?
You'll hear her questions, view her progress and, hopefully,
cheer her on as we get closer to the event.
Here's how it all started:
------------------------------------------------------------------
NEW RUNNER: Just have to share... as
of today, I am down 11 lbs...I gained back 5 that I had lost before school
started, but they are gone again! I have been religiously keeping track of
Weight Watchers points and exercising. My plan is to go out tomorrow and begin
Day 1 of my couch to 5k (C25K) with my new app and Pandora that I downloaded on
my phone. I really want to run in December! I have also resurrected 3 pairs of
pants that I have not worn for 2 years! Two are size 8! I think I am finally
doing this! Link to C25K Training Program HERE
MISS DAISY: Hip hip hoorayyyyyyyy!
That's so awesome! What a great accomplishment and that feeling is the best in
the world, isn't it? I hope you love the C25K! It just feels so good to have a
goal and to get it done!
And now maybe I will use YOU as an inspiration because I'm not
doing so great on my eating. LOL
NEW RUNNER: I wasn't either...the WW
app that I downloaded has kept me honest. I think my body is still figuring out
what I am doing...but I will take what I can get for now. I'm just sick of
feeling terrible when I look in the mirror. Getting back to work has helped
too. I don't have time to snack!
MISS DAISY: I'm a little jealous that
you get to "start" running. I just LOVED the feeling of falling in
love with it. If you decide it's for you, I hope you get that. So happy you
found something that works for YOU! And I can't wait to run with you in
December. I hope I can keep up!

You go, New Runner!! Everyone's journey to becoming a runner is different. For me it was hard, hard as heck and I couldn't accept that I was actually a "runner" because I wasn't good at it. Truth is, if you run at all, you are a runner. Enjoy this new journey and thanks for sharing!
Thanks, Queen of Cheese! You are so right...I don't feel like a real 'runner'!!! I'm definitely not good at it yet...but I can't wait until I am.
