Ok, guys....it is on. It is time for me to start exercising and getting my act together. I downloaded a Couch to 5K app for my iPhone and last night I put it to the test. The workout started with a 5 minute warm-up walk and then 20 minutes alternating 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking and then a 5 minute cool-down walk. Let me tell you, I am OUT of shape. It was NOT easy...but I did it. And I only skipped one of the 60 seconds of jogging (I walked instead). I did learn, that eating dinner shortly beforehand was an awful idea. Haha. I'm really proud of myself for doing it. I am SOOOO not a runner. The furthest I've ever had the desire to run was 60 feet between bases on the softball field. :-) But last night I walked/ran 2.18 miles. I also have the Map My Ride app for my iPhone so I used it to track my distance and pace. (Side note: How rude is it that a workout app has a McDonald's advertisement.) Anyway, I hope to be able to continue the Couch to 5K program, bring my weight down and get into better shape. I'm blogging about it so that I will have someone somewhere to hold me accountable. Anyone else doing Couch to 5K? Or just trying to get in shape, in general?
