Learning to become a RUNNER!

I have always wanted to be a runner! I mean always, even back in high school in my thinner days. I loved to run. I would run half mile or so every night. A big thanks to my dad who would follow me and pick me up, because I hated to run back the same direction. Gosh that man really loved me! ;)

I tried couch to 5k and it was just ok. I had a free trial version and when it was up I didn't purchase it. I had gotten to week 4 and that was it. The problem I had with it was when it was time to jog I would jog so fast that I would tire before it was time to walk again. So I read a blog about a runner and she said she jogged a very slow jog, which would be a fast walk to some! For as long as she could, and then built up her time not speed. After you get the distance built up you can work on speed. So that is my plan and guess what?........I'm up to jogging 22 mins without stopping. At first I thought the people at the gym were probably wanting to laugh at how slow I was jogging, but if the end result is me getting to jog a full 5k without stopping I will be thrilled.
I've had good/bad days on my diet as far as food goes. We had moms bday and a good day at work. We had a date night to Mexican and a lunch date to pizza inn. So pantry is stoked and ready for hopefully a good weekend.

Oh and our computer crashed. So the new one just got setup. I will be back to posting pictures hopefully by the weekend
