Turns out, No Running = No Blogging.
And when I say No Running, I mean NO RUNNING. I got the new Garmin for Christmas, and thought that would kickstart my motivation.
Turns out? Not so much. I ran on December 26th...and then on January 10th...and then on...
Oh, right. NEVER AGAIN.
And it's February. A brand new month. So I think I need a brand new plan. A fun plan. An easy plan.
So I am going to do...
(drumroll)
(...)
(...)
(...)
A couch to 5k plan.
Yes, really.
I mean, don't get me wrong, I could totally bust out a 5k right now.
(And by "totally" I mean "maybe")
I wouldn't be PRing or anything crazy, but I could carry my out-of-shape ass across 3.1 miles.
Right?
RIGHT??
So maybe I couldn't. I guess it's a good thing that week one starts a little something like this:
Walk 4:30
Run :30
Repeat 7 times
Oh yeah, baby. I'm going back to basics. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to run for 30 seconds. :)
I think some new running shoes are in order.

you are a funny funny girl. and hot too. the perfect package.
but i hear what you mean. and i SO need new shoes. if there was any time to hit run n fun (or ??) together, i'm there! my nimbii are toast.
miss you. and love the blog. hiatus or not.
I could have written this post. Because my last run? Was Jan 4th. And the one before that? I'm pretty sure it was Thanksgiving morning. :O
I am struggling bigtime with motiviation, mostly due to the cold weather and dark evenings. I can't seem to run before work or after the kids are in bed, so before I know it, I'm not running at all. That needs to change because I feel like the biggest fat ass crabby lady ever. I had forgotten just how much running helps my mood!
Enough about me, you go on with that Couch to 5K program and tell us all about it! :) Oh, and also know that taking a break is okay. Cause we have our whole lives to run!!
You need new shoes. And maybe some new running clothes. And maybe some type of motivating reward? That always works for me.
Oh the good old days of the back-to-basics plan. Thanks to you and that wonderful plan, I'm now a runner. Good luck getting back into the groove.
Hey chicky, I like the plan. I'm trying to write a 5k plan for a friend who's never run one, so if you have any suggestions, let me know ;o)
"I'm pretty sure I'll be able to run for 30 seconds."
It's a good thing Garmins track in "feet".
dude. totally in the same boat.
