Finished!

Today I did my last run with the Couch-to-5k program!! It was amazing! The first week of this program you run for 60 seconds. While I was able to do that I remember being out of breath. Now at week nine I am able to run for 30 minutes with energy to spare. I can't believe how far I have come on this program and I know I will just continue to improve. Also I think I inspired my sister to start running. YAY! I love when others around me like to run. I enjoy being able to talk about my progress with someone who has been there or going through the same thing as me and it gives me motivation. I plan to increase my running time by 5 minutes each week. Eventually I will be an unstoppable running machine! 

Progress

Today I ran 2 1/2 miles! Big deal for me. I get excited about all my runs so if you look at this blog be warned that I get excited! I also made some plans today. I plan to do a 5K this summer and then in October I plan to do a 10K. I have never attempted a 10K so I am thrilled by this challenge. I have 2 runs left in my 5K program. I am a complete beginner so I love apps for my phone to keep me on track with my running. I need to figure out which training app to use to get me running a 10K.

Bucket List

This is my running bucket list. I wish to complete these in no special order but I hope to complete them :D
-run a 5K
-run more 5K's :D
-run a local half marathon
-run the disney princess half marathon
-convince my husband to run some races with me
-keep it fun
So far I have loved getting healthier and adding running to my life. I like trying to beat my previous times/distances but I am not going to beat myself up if I don't. I plan on listening to silly songs while I run and enjoy every minute of it.

Getting Started

Hi! I am starting this whole running thing. Well when I say started about 2 months ago. I have come far in my journey. I can run over 2 miles...without stopping. Some of you might be laughing but I think that is awesome especially for me! I am hoping to run a 5K this summer. The goal is to be able to run it all. It won't be fast right now but I am hoping to improve my speed and also improve my distance. Basically this blog will kind of hold myself accountable and hopefully help keep me improving.
