  • February Goal: 35 miles 02/02/2018: C25K - Week 5 Day 1 I admit it; I was fist pumping and grinning like a Cheshire Cat after completing today's runs. This *kitten* is getting real (and I love it!) I am taking the advice and making sure I balance the running with strength training/yoga but already recognize I love my 'run'…

  • 01/02/2018: C25K W1D1 on the treadmill. It all starts somewhere. 01/11/2018: C25K W1D2 on the treadmill. Felt easy, surprisingly, probably because of eating better. I'm incorporating a lot of changes and doing it ALL on the first week was too much. I focused on my diet - meal planning, meal prepping, and eating right. I…

  • Ah yes... No manure from the steel stable, however that particular chore does burn the calories! I plan to get it to the shop for a tune up and will hook it up to the indoor trainer.

  • See if your local community ed program has a beginner running program. I failed couch 2 5 k but going to the class every week has been very motivating. I'm signed up for my first 5k. The class is taught by someone from our local running club who just finished the Boston Marathon. Oh..and get good shoes!!
