Here I am - a non-runner - the person who always said she only runs if being chased. I guess I should say here WE are, because my dear husband has agreed to embark on this mission with me, and we of course are dragging (or pushing in this case) our two boys along for the ride.
If you haven't heard about it before, the Couch to 5K (or c25k) program is designed for beginning runners. It starts you off slow, doing walk/run intervals and gradually builds you up over 9 weeks to become 5k runners. I decided to start this because our church holds the Bev Coleman 5k race in October, and I really wanted to be able to participate this year. It's a great fundraiser for the youth group, community builder and because cancer has affected so many people in my life, I felt this a great way to remember them.
So here begins our adventure...Week 1 Day 1 - about kicked my rear, but I survived.
Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes. Five-minute cooldown walk.
