Last week I decided I would start the Couch to 5k program while Robert was away at the World Series of Poker.
It ends up I need a program just to get me to the first week of this Couch to 5k program. I’m serious! I can’t run 60 seconds every 90 seconds. Shoot, I can barely run for 60 seconds. I have been walking for at least 40 minutes on the treadmill, every other day. The only reason I’m taking the day off is because the “program” says to, and because my shins are killing me.
I got some new sneakers yesterday, so hopefully my shins will hurt less. When I was walking/running today they seemed to hurt less, but who knows. I’ll have to give it a few days to see if the pain completely goes away.
This program is supposed to get you running a 5k in six weeks. I’m hoping to get to the first week of this program in six weeks. Not joking!
Wish me luck!
Good luck with the program! I had tried it awhile back. I think I was on week 1 for about 3 weeks then decided I really don’t like running. 🙂 I’ll be cheering for you! I admire runners and would really like to enjoy doing it. Maybe I’ll give it another try.
