Couch to 5 K week 1, day 2

I'm not that impressed with the numbers today. To my defense, our jogging stroller had two flat tires and my year old wanted to run with me. Honestly, she's faster than I am, so I cannot really use that as an excuse.

Obviously, I'm not a runner yet!
I did weigh myself today and I am 1.5 pounds lighter than I was last week. My only change? Stopped drinking Dr. Peppers.

Just starting

Today is the day.
Today I get started on my goal of losing weight, but more importantly - today I start my journey on becoming healthy and fit.

To be effective, goals should meet three criteria: They should be measurable, meaningful, and attainable.

My Goals are:
1. complete the couch to 5 k training program
2. complete three 5k races over the summer
3. train for the Middle Half in October

Lofty goals, I know! So, let's break them down to what I can do today to reach my goals.

1. Today do week 1, day 1 of the couch to 5 k program. 5 minute marm up, then repeat the following intervals 9 times:
-Run 60 seconds
-Walk 90 seconds
Cool down with a 5 minute walk. Taken from Ease into 5k app.

2. Today drink 1/2 my weight in ounces. That means 110 ounces. Yes, that's right - do the math!

3. Take current pictures.


I think this will be a fun journey to document.
