My christmas gift to my self I'm really excited. Went to an actual running store, in spite of the fact that I felt extremely self conscious at this weight, and more than anything, I just wanted to order a bunch from zappos and hope I chose well. However, I sucked up the fear, and they did the gait analysis thing, measured my feet, had me walk around in a few different pairs of shoes, and were super nice. I ended up getting a pair of Brooks that turned out to be on sale So I also picked up a much needed sports bra
I'm starting C25K soon. I'm not even able to do 60 second runs right now, so I took my favorite cardio playlist, imported the songs into an audio editor and added beeps every 60 and 90 seconds (based on week 1 of C25K). This morning (before I got my new shoes), I tried to complete week 1, but struggled, so I'm considering this "Pre-week" 1. I'll just keep using my playlist with beeps until I'm actually able to complete the first segment. I figure I will definitely need to spend more than the recommended amount of time for each week, but I'll get there. Even if it takes 9 months instead of 9 weeks, I will get there
