I have a thought, and idea, actually. Maybe it would be better to call it a goal. I am thinking about running a 5K marathon. I looked it up, it is about 3 miles. It is 4 miles to my work. It doesn't really seem that long, but I want to run it not walk.
My friend Laura led me to a sight called from Couch to 5K and I am going to try it. She is doing something a little different but the idea is the same. It is supposed to take about 9 weeks to do this. I have two concerns. My weight and my shoes.
With my weight, I know that it puts more pressure on my joints more so than if I was lighter, so I am concerned about that. With my shoes, you just need a good pair and even though I have New Balance, it doesn't mean they are good shoes for running.
I see my trainer today and I am going to talk to her about it. I am kind of excited about the idea and yet a part of me is saying "Are you kidding me!?"
I've been planning on doing Couch to 5K for awhile now. Tonight? I d/l the podcasts needed for it. I found some with music that is similar to what I like since the music will (hopefully) help me run a bit easier: http://gonicoleyourself.blogspot.com/2008/06/couch-to-5k-podcast-page.html I dunno if you'd like the music, but there it is if you want to check them out.
