Wow, I was a little overwhelmed that 9 people actually still read this blog on occasion. I was especially shocked when one friend said I inspired her and she has started this journey as well. I hope you guys are not disappointed at the following post:
Reasons why I have not moved on to Day 2 in the C25K:
1. Day 1 was on Thursday, Aug. 28. Friday I was too sore. Then came Labor Day Weekend - who in the world actually works out on a 3 day weekend. Please!
2. Monday night (Labor Day), my purse was stolen at the local Subway (the restaurant. No Irving does not actually have subways that you ride -- I wish). So that threw out Tuesday as I was depressed and busy working on purchasing my life back (new purse, new wallet, new cell phone, etc., etc., etc.)
3. Wednesday: Jeremiah is now in school Tues-Thurs. Since Tues was a wash, Wed. was my first real "day off" -- who wants to spend that working out. Besides, the Fajita Festival is next week and I had LOTS of work to do.
4. Thursday: I went to the gym for my free personal trainer thing that you get when you join. I had a very enjoyable, yet hard workout with Rashad. When it was all over, he sat me down and tried to sell me more of those hard workouts at a very reasonable price of $60/per session. Are you kidding me? When I hesitated, he had to bring in the used-car-salesman version of Val Kilmer to convince me that $80/month was not really all that bad for 2 sessions a month and that if I didn't spend that kind of money, I must not be really serious about my health, etc. Well, by the time it was over (I honestly had plans of doing my treadmill run that day), I felt so dirty & grimey from the conversation with aforementioned not-very-enjoyable-person, that I just had to go take a shower.
5. Friday: I was very sore from my very enjoyable, yet hard workout with Rashad.
6. Weekend!!! Run? Really? Doubt it!
So here we are Monday morning. Jeremiah has gymnastics at 10. My plan is to drop him off and then run around the block a couple times. We'll see how it goes. Several of you suggested that I run outside rather than a treadmill. My only problem with outside is it generally doesn't have childcare. So I'm going to take advantage of gymnastics. I make no promises that this will happen again, but I'll at least try it today.
Lisa, I hope you're having more success than I am. :)

I was just fixing to call you but now you are running around the block!! Call me later, ok??
Well, I wasn't about to call you and anyway you are probably NOT running around the block now. Scheduling and then actually doing the workout is really hard. I'm proud of you for making the effort.
Don't give up! You will conquer all of these "set backs."
