So, I have tried the Couch to 5K program before, but never gotten all the way through. I am pretty sure now that I know why. I was defining running poorly. I did not feel I was really running unless I was going fast enough. Running is a form, not a speed. I am doing C25K again now, but I am going to force myself to run at 4mph. I will work on speed later. Once I can do 20 - 30 minutes at 4mph then I will work on 4.1, then 4.2 and eventually I can run fast, no pressure.
I have these great podcasts that I downloaded here that I am using. They have a lot better music than some of the ones out there without the cues getting lost in the music like some.
Tomorrow is Week 1, Day 3. I'm going to be a runner yet!

About Me
- Roxy
- Jacksonville, Arkansas, United States
- I'm a 33 year old chick who is currently on a mission to become half the woman I was (less than half, technically). My starting weight in Feb. 2009 was 245 and at 5'2" that is not a good thing, so here I am, fixing it. I have a wonderful husband and would like to have some wonderful babies, but first I must be healthy. I want to be around to get my kids to adulthood and I want to be a good role model for them.
