I never thought I'd be a runner. However, I've signed up to run a 5k in December and I went on my first training run last night . I'm doing the couch to 5k program (9 weeks to convert the non-runner to being able to run a 5K).
The scale for me has been stuck. It seems as if I've been in the mid-270s forever. I'm hoping that changing my exercise routine by encorporating running will kick start the scale and I'll actually be able to see the 260s at some point.
