Couch to 5k

In my continuing quest for a healthier me I have decided to try the couch to 5k program. I have already lost about 10 pounds this year so far by just watching my calorie intake and doing light to moderate exercise. Light to moderate meaning doing about 20-30 minutes on the treadmill twice a week. Now its time to step things up.

I encouraged some of my coworkers to join me on this voyage to go from the couch to running a 5k. Today is our first day. I’ll let you know how things turn out.

I was inspired to do this when a good friend of mine was constantly talking about how she was running, eating healthier, losing weight and just plain old feeling better about herself. This inspired me to want to feel better and look better too! Hopefully you’ll hear or read more from her later. We’re trying to work something out now so that she can blog about her experience and hopefully inspire more folks to want to live and eat right.

Here is the info for the couch to 5k program. Wish me luck!
