In my last post about my
New Year's Resolution, I talked about a weekly link party for everyone wanting to get back in shape, where we can post/comment our stats and offer each other helpful advice, workout ideas, what works for you, what doesn't and just generally support each other so that when we think about giving up we will have bloggy friends to lift us up again!
So right here, I will try to post one inspirational thing, or a workout that I want to try, or something workout related every week, and I encourage you to do the same! Let's inspire each other into getting healthy this year and making our waists disappear!
**************************************************************************
This week, I want to post about the Couch to 5K Challenge! I will tell you this. It got me through my first 5k, and I didn't even complete the program. I had from October 4th to December 4th to train for it, and I ran the race in 47 minutes, which is not too shabby for a first-timer if I do say so myself!
You can find the training program here. I won't be doing it again until springtime, but as soon as it's warm enough to take Natalie with me again, I will be back to running!
For now, I have some workouts that I saved on Pinterest, and a few that I've torn out of magazines that I am going to try, and see how it goes. I'll let you know my progress next week!
