Bite me, Couch to 5K - Week 3!
“Ding! Begin Walking” The lady voice of Week 3, Day 1 of Couch to 5k wasn't reassuring as she commanded my 5-minute warm-up walk. I know what this day meant. I’d already looked ahead to what she was going to ask me to do today: FOUR THREE-MINUTE RUNS!?!?!?! ARE YOU FREAKING KIDDING ME? For the record, two weeks ago I…

Goodbye Pepperidge Farm
Goodbye Pepperidge Farm Double Nantucket Dark Chocolate Crispy cookies. Oh baby, you know you're tasty - and we've sure had fun over the years - but I've moved past you.

Bite me C25K! - What I wish someone had told me when I started

Why accurate logging works for me
Why I'm convinced that accurate, daily logging is key to my success thus far. 1) Logging keeps my diet in the front of my mind.

C 2 5K week 4 - The "Hill"
Oh sweet baby Jesus! Who is the sadistic, methane-breathing sicko who decided that just because one week I could run four 3-minute heats that somehow the next week I could run a six minute run?
