5K Training

The training is going really well so far. I am almost done with week 2 and I am feeling fantastic. This is keeping me motivated and I hope that continues as the distances begin to grow over the remaining 7 weeks. I am really hoping that I come to enjoy running when this is all over.

I had to laugh last night. After I finished my workout on the treadmill and was stretching, Lauren walked over and got on the treadmill and started running on it. She looks at me and says, "Mommy, look at me. I'm running like you." It was the cutest thing. It also made me happy to know that she "sees" the healthy things I am trying to do and I pray that that sticks with her and she strives to make healthy choices in her life.

Are you following some sort of training guide for the 5K? I'd love to do one, but I am a TERRIBLE runner. I really, really suck at it.

Dena,

I am following the Couch to 5K program from http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml

It is nice and gradual and seems to really work from others I have talked to. I am not a runner either, but I am hoping this will help.
