After 1 day of running a few weeks ago, I quit again. But this morning I got up determined to get back on it. My new jeans have been a huge motivator and I want to get off this plateau I’ve been sitting on for a while now. I got up and headed to the First Baptist Church Family Life Center (which is open to the public and has an indoor walking track, gym, equipment room, etc.) and did week 2 of the Couch to 5K. It wasn’t even hard, so on Wednesday I’ll pick back up with week 3 and see how I do. I only have about 5 weeks to go if I want to run in the Southern Pines Reindeer Fun Run, so I need to step it up!

Hang in there! I did Couch to 5K through June/July/August this year and amazed myself with some of the progressions (like that 20-minute run at the end of week 5). Except for the past two weeks, I’ve been running about 5K three times a week since completing the program. I’m now looking for a good 10K program, hoping to run a few of those next summer.
