This was my view this morning at 6:45AM...
Isn't it just amazing? It was in the 40's and I could see my breath...Ahhhhhh
Anyway, I set my alarm this early because I have decided, I want to run a 5K!! lol My husbands response was, "You're not going to run a 5K! That's a long way!" To which I responded "I will or die trying now!!!!" ;) I am using this neat app on my iPhone called C25K (Couch To 5K) and it's an 8/9 week calender, 3 days a week and a 20-30 minute session. Warm Up, Brisk walk, 60 seconds of jogging and then 90 seconds of walking, alternating for a full 20-30 minute workout! The next week is a longer jogging period and so on!!
I am proud to say, I completed the entire session!!! We have a 2 miles loop through the property where we live and I walked/jogged it and then a little more- woohHoo!! I felt SOOOO good when I finished!
My friend, Trina (who I will introduce in another blog post) has been a great support and encouragement and has even agreed to join in on my inaugural 5K. Trina and my cousin, Jessica are going to be my supporters and my running partners- YEAH!!!
I am looking and looking for a 5K in December or January here in my area that I can run! I think I found one too!. It in Seneca Falls, NY on December 8th! (http://itsawonderfulrun5k.com/) Seneca Falls, NY is the hometown of the original Bedford Falls in the Christmas movie "It's a Wonderful Life." How fun is that? They have an annual Festival in honor of the movie and the 5K run is a part of it! I think it's gonna be perfect!!
I'm stoked right now. May need some encouragement along the way but right now, I AM HITTING IT!!!!
