Couch to 5K, Week One

Tonight, I'm going to start the Couch to 5K running plan. The idea is to transform you from couch potato to runner, getting you running three miles (or 5K) on a regular basis in just two months. So, being in the "couch" stage, tonight I'll be doing week 1, workout 1: Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. Followed by stretching. It sounds easy, but something about it scares me. Maybe it's that I don't run- anywhere- ever. DH says he only runs for the bus- not me. I'll wait for the next bus. But tonight, I start the process which will lead me to run 5 kilometers. At one time.

Not what I was searching for, but none the less and interesting blog here. Thanks for putting it up. I've enjoyed reading alot of the text here. I got you bookmarked for the future, I'll be back.

My site is a bit different, some think it's odd. I guess it's a matter how you look at it. I have a lindsay lohan weight loss related site. Most of the articles are on lindsay lohan weight loss.
