Okay - I just got back from doing the first day of week 1 for the Couch to 5K program.  And I am exhausted.  I did the whole things except for the last minute of running, - what can I say - I was tired.  I did nearly all of it though and I am very proud.  I am currently wondering why I want to take on this challenge - but at the same time I want to defeat my fear of running and I want running to be one of the ways that I reach my weight loss goals.  

I decided about halfway through the interval (20 minutes of alternating 90 seconds of walking/60 seconds of jogging) that I was jogging too fast and therefore wearing myself out too quickly.  My running should be more of a shuffle right now - that is where I am and I need to embrace that.  So we will try this again Friday for the second day of Week 1.  Although I may need to repeat Week 1 again.  I don’t know yet - I have decided though that I will go at my own pace.  :)
