I started running the Couch to 5K last week and I finished the first week of the plan today. I'm pretty impressed with myself because I have never been much of a runner, but this is a very simple program that tells me exactly what to do and works me up to my goal of running a 5K very slowly.
The goal is to run the Run to Remember in July benefiting the Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep Foundation . Hopefully running/jogging/walking 3 day a week will give me the added benefit of a few pounds going away so that I can fit back into the stack of summer clothes I have piled up that are too small for me!
The easiest way for me to do this program was to download an app on my phone to help. I got This One.
I play my own music and a nice lady tells me to run and after 60 seconds she tells me "Good job! Now walk." And I get to walk for 90 seconds. I want to ask her to marry me when she tells me to walk. She is my favorite person in the world at that moment in time. Next week I'll have to run for more than 60 seconds. I might curse her on my next run.
The best part of all is my wonderful running buddy!

We have a quick hitch lease that can expand a big loop at the end to hitch your pup to a post or a tree or what-have-you. It also has the handy ability to make a BIG loop that will go over my right shoulder while Luna walks on my left, leaving me hands-free. And she is doing an AMAZING job walking and jogging along with me on a loose leash. I'm so proud of her! We highly recommend obedience training at the Canine Connection to anyone who will listen!
