Okay, today is day one - well sort of. It's actually the day of planning for next weeks activities - and the day of cleaning my house!!
I have gotten Glenn to agree to get up with me 3x each week at 5am so that he can be my time keeper. With the C25k program, intervals are important steps that you have to keep up with and since I hate the music on the podcasts and am not tech savvy enough to make my own (nor do I wish to learn), my darling Pookie-Pooh will set up his chair, coffee and newspaper and keep time for me. He doesn't really like the idea of me running alone in the darkness and wee hours of the morning anyway - besides maybe I can get him to join along eventually...we'll have to see about that...
My first 5k was in May - I weighed about 270 and walked it in 58 min 16 sec. My 2nd 5k is November 14 - My weight today is 255 and my goal is to do a combo run/walk to finish the race in 45 min.
It's not going to be an easy road - loosing 100+ pounds is never fast or easy - but it is doable. Let's see if I can do it, shall we?
Peace and Love, CFS
