Exercise UGH!

This is where I sit in a pile of sweat.  So gross!  Why did I pick today to start the routine?  It's 95 degrees out side.

Anyway, at Sunday's meeting one of the girls mentioned the 'Couch to 5k' program.  Basically it's a step up program from sitting on the couch to running a 5k. Sounds crazy, right?  After much review of the comments and reviews of the program I decided it can't be too bad.

O M G I'm so out of shape.  I downloaded some tracks that are designed for the program on my iPod.  They have up beats for running and low beats for walking.  Each track is 30 minutes.

I tried my hardest to get through the whole 30 minutes even if it meant walking when I was supposed to be jogging.  The jogging portion of the workout was only accomplished during the first 10 minutes.  I was able to continue to walk at the fast pace a remaining 15 minutes. The last 5 minutes were me sitting at the foot of my driveway trying to catch my breath and stretching my throbbing legs. 

I am not admitting defeat or giving up though.  What I'm saying is that it'll probably take me longer than the 9 weeks the program suggests for getting from the Couch to 5k.  (more info here: http://www.c25k.com/)

I'll try again on Friday.
