I did it!!

I must admit I had some serious doubts I'd ever be writing this post but I'm so proud to report that I finished the Couch Potato to 5K program!! Woo hoo! There were times I thought it wouldn't be possible but I just remembered all those desserts and trudged on. It wasn't until the last week (week 9) that we worked all the way to the 5K, and I did have to take a break the first day, but by day 3 of the final week, I did it! I ran it and dare I say, liked it!

If you're looking for something to get you going, I'd highly recommend this program. The intervals are well spaced and Robert, the instructor, is a good motivator. The music wasn't so much my taste but I found myself not even listening to it and just thinking of about things I needed to get done.

He mentioned making a half-marathon podcast and while I don't think I'm ready for that, I do plan to gradually add to my routine just to keep pushing myself. I never thought I'd be saying those words. Of course I also didn't think it was possible for me to run a mile, let alone 3! Oh and the podcasts are free, so you have no excuse!
