Couch to 5k

I've started a plan to get me running. It's called Couch to 5k or more commonly referred to as C25K. The idea is to get yourself up and running but slowly so you don't overdo it and then quit. It's really pretty neat. The first week, you do a 5 minute brisk walk followed by 60 seconds of running and then 90 seconds of walking. You do this til your total time is 20 minutes. I've done it twice so far. It's really great! I figure I can do anything for 60 seconds. Then you have your break and you start up again. I'm really enjoying it. It gives you a sense of accomplishment. I end each session looking forward to the next. I am tempted to stay on longer but knowing how I like to overdo, I am taking it one step at a time. My goal is to "run" (more like jog) a 5k in the early summer. Ed and I ran the Quincy Police Athletic League 5k many moons ago. Maybe we will do that one again.
