My Journey with C25K Begins

I was going to start a new blog to talk about my journey to running a 5k.
But I thought to myself, this is MY blog. I can write what ever I wasnt. And if I want a million topics then so be IT!

SO I will be adding my journey here among my other random manic posts...

As stated in a previous post here>>> I Run 4

I signed my son up to be ran for. We have an amazingly adventurous runner who does very exciting things!

After reading posts after posts daily. I got inspired. What am I doing sitting on this couch. When I have the ability and gumption to RUN. I am lazy, I am over weight and I am unhealthy. What am I teaching my kids?

So I made the decision to run. While I still can. While I teach my kids to get up and DO something. Anything!

I am nervous. I am unsure. But I am determined! And that makes all the difference.

I did some research and found the couch to 5k program. It seemed easy enough.

I found some friends and family to support me. ( My hubby doesnt think I can do it. I am going to prove him WRONG!)

I signed up for my first 5K by urge of my cousin, who said she would do it with me. See she is an avid excersizer and she believes in me. And she made me believe in myself.

My first 5K will be on my birthday weekend. It is my gift to myself. And is a water obstacle course! How fun!! I am very very excited. I hope I can do it and not let myself down.

I think running is more a mental hurdle for me. I have never been the athletic one. Never. Ive been the crafty one, the creative one. The one that sits and sews, or paints, or draws.

I want to be both.

I CAN be both.

So here is the beginning of my journey.

Week one complete.

I CAN do this.
I CAN do this.
I C A N do THIS!
