I have nothing for you from the weekend :-( We were all sick in bed with a nasty bug and didn't leave the house, at all. Well, I trudged slowly to the grocery store on Sunday as Lallie had eaten nothing but mac/cheese and crackers for two days, but other than that, basically stayed inside.
A big shout out and thanks to my wonderful Husband. It's been a tough, tough week (Lallie was on steroids, not fun!) and Husband took care of her while I was sick in bed and cleaned the entire house for me (he usually helps me, but I was thankful I didn't have to lift a finger this time around).
Okay - moving on! Couch to 5K. I have decided to give this a go. I have never been a runner, my heart has not usually allowed it do to some health issues. But, my theory is if I can get it pumping fast and hard during Pilates class, running with a good training program shouldn't be all that different, right? (I really hope I'm not fooling myself). As long as I start off slow and give my body a chance to acclamate, I think I'll be okay. The C25K program seems to be right along these lines.
Here are the steps I need to check off my list:
Step 1: Find a jogging stroller.
Step 2: Wake up 30 minutes earlier in the day so I can come home earlier to run (I will start working on this tomorrow).
Step 3: Start training in the evenings when I come home and before I start dinner. (In all hopes, my plan of getting to work earlier will allow not only my running schedule - which Lallie LOVES to be outside, but assist with my healthier eating goal for my family).
I am working on Step 1 right now, looking on Craig's List etc., for a stroller that some of you suggested in my A/Q post a few days ago.
So, who would like to join me on the C25K journey? Surely there is one, maybe two? I think my friend Mint Juleps and Magnoilas is doing this routine too. Anyways, I will post periodically my progress!
