Day 1 is Done

Yesterday at about noon I decided to start a new type of training for me.  And I wrote about it.  Then got completely overwhelmed.  True, nobody but me knew my plan or read my blog and yes I still am the only one reading this...is it weird I am just talking to myself?  but nonetheless I felt like I had an obligation I needed to keep.

So after work- with some very strong resistance- I went to the gym.  And I stalked the treadmills until 1 became available.  And I ran.  Well, I ran according to what the Couch to 5K app says to run, which is 1.5 minutes of walking with 1 minute runs in between.  So people were probably judging me, but you know what?  Didn't care.

And then I went to dinner with some friends and did the unthinkable- I ordered iced tea instead of wine and a kale and spinach salad (delicious, by the way).  At one point one of the girls asked if I wanted a fry and I declined.  Now this is not a normal occurrence for me, so I had to confess my new plan.  And as soon as I said 5K, they asked which race I was training for.  "Well, not a race, per se, but just to try a new program".  This, apparently, is not an acceptable answer.   So now I am training for the Kansas City Marathon 5K which is exactly 9 weeks away.  It fits my timeline too perfect for me to say no to, and now I really have a goal to work towards.

This morning I woke up a little early and did a Tone it Up routine.  Tonight will be CT5K Day 2.  See, I am following through!
