From Couch Potato to 5k Runner?

So, I decided that I need to "move more". I'm feeling quite motivated. So motivated that I downloaded the Couch to 5k app for my Blackberry. Yeah, it cost me $4 so you KNOW I'm gonna use it.

Yesterday was Week 1 Day 1. Guess what? I survived!!!! My breathing was rough (huffing and puffing like crazy) but I have been assured by my running expert (thanks to Colleen Kusz) that the breathing will get better after my body adjusts to the demands. I'm super thrilled that I made it through the first day. And now....drum roll, please...

I'm starting my New Year's Resolution now. I resolve that I will run my first 5k race on New Year's Day 2011. Yup, it's true. If I follow this program to the letter, I should be able to run the 5k Christmas week. So the big day is January 1, 2011.

Yay Me!!!!
