Title from "Run Away - Monty Python's Spamalot"
So, I have decided to actually START the Couch-to-5K. I'm loving it and hating it. The weather has gotten cold ... well some days are FREEZING while other days are warm. Today was warm and I made the mistake of wearing a fall sweater. But the other day it was colder than it seemed and I just about perished in my t-shirt.
Despite some minor setbacks last week, I have moved on to my second week of the program. I found some free podcasts that talk you through the intervals (with music and stuff). So, I'm really hoping I can get back into the swing of being active again. I used to run all the time and loved it, and then with my accident and ankle surgery, I just stopped everything. So, now my plan is to get back in shape, and lose the weight I put on since my surgery (YEARS ago).
I'm a little worried about the running though. Winter in fast approaching, and the 9 week program will most probably run into snow. AND, since I don't want to throw away 9 weeks of work, I'll have to keep running through the winter, which is going to be hard to do this year. Being out in the country, while all the big trucks are out here working on a project, leaves the roads not the safest to run on in good weather ... I'm not going to think about it now. I'll deal when the time comes.
