5K Running Prep!


Hi Everyone!


I am starting a running program:) 


I have mixed emotions...being a heavy child most of my life, running has been the one thing that I feared. I remember the really fit girls being able to run for so long in my elementary gym class...where I could barely last five! If a run was coming up, I pretended to not "feel well".


Now in my late 20's, I am going to face the fear! I admire the runners striding down Queen St. on Sunday mornings. They look so graceful and look like they are actually enjoying it...chatting it up as they run side by side. I'm lucky if I can breath let alone talk and run!! lol


So my friend Tara, has set me up with a 6 week running program.  Along with proper nutrition and weight training, my goal is to run the "Hazel 5K run"...yes actually run it...(yikes!)


Survived session one!
The RunDown:


I have lost over 70lbs in the past 2 years and feel great! I have now reached a plateau and looking to reach my final goal.  Another 30lbs by the end of the year...woot!


I'm pretty sure this running prep program will take me to the next level as well as help me overcome my fear...Wish me Luck!!


Week one...session one...starting now!
