I am still alive!

I have completed Week 1 of the Couch 25k program. So far everything is going pretty great. However i am having problems with my shins hurting. If I stretch after the warm up and then again after the cool down then they do not bother me as much. I know I need some new shoes but I just spent 200 bucks on shoes for the kids to go back to school. I will have to wait.

I am currently running on 4.5 mph. That is not running but it is when you are me. I am hoping to increase my run time to 5 mph but I think I will wait till I complete the program. I am not the best for finishing what I start so I think I will be more likely to stick with it if I run slow.

For the record my weight at this time is 204lbs. I would like to get down to 130lbs but that will come with the running.

So far now fair well my friends.!

Run, Christy, Run,

So.. I want to be a runner. or a jogger. Which ever happens first. I assume jogger because I am slow. I am starting the Couch25K program. You can find it on the cool running website. Basically the program is simple. You will train 3 days a week for 9 weeks. You get a rest day in between training days. You start out with a warm up then you start out alternating running for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds for a total of 20 mins. After your first week you will run longer and walk less til you can run a full 30 minutes. I just started this program. Tomorrow is Week 1 Day2. Day one wasn't to bad. At the time I thought so but really it wasn't. I am really slow but whatever gets me there. I want to sign up for a 5k soon. Wish me luck!

Hello world!

I am not sure what I am doing with this blog. I just wanted to create one so I have an outlet for my feelings, and  when I just want to talk about life.
