I did it

I did day 2 yesterday while Jeremiah was at gymnastics. You're right, it is nicer outside. :) But part of the reason it was so easy was because I was listening to this. This guy put together 30 minute music tracks to listen to while you do your runs. There is another guy who did one as well - his is more techno music -- you can link to it from the c25k website. But the one I listened to is independent christian music.

Independent means that it is recorded without the oversight of a label company. If you know anything about indie music, you know that some of it is indie for a reason. The same is true here. But the redeeming factor is that the guy tells you when to walk and when to run. So no keeping track of time, no wondering if you've gone too far, etc. Just follow the prompts. Run when he says run and walk when he says walk. It is very mindless. And I don't know about you, but easier is ALWAYS better when it comes to exercise.

So now there are 3 of us on this "program" -- which one of us will actually finish this thing. My bet is on Lisa (no offense Sara).

You go girl!

I did day one on Saturday. I tought it was not so bad. (I didn't add any weights or extras like you did.) I was feeling pretty good about myself. Sunday morning I woke up and was ready to run. Sunday morning by 8:30, I thought I might die! :) I haven't been back out yet. If I were you, I wouldn't put your money on me.

I wish I had an IPod! The guy telling you when to run/walk sounds like a great idea. I bought a cheap-o watch with a stopwatch on it, but I'm contantly staring at it wondering when the running time will be over so I can return to the sweet bliss of walking!
