First Couch to 5K Run, and Signed up for a 5K!
I did my first Couch to 5K training program today (using a really great free podcast that I downloaded). It was really tough - I was actually surprised considering I've been walking and even jogging a bit for the last 3 months! I felt great afterwards though, and am already looking forward to Thursday's session.
I also signed up for a 5K run in May - I do best when I have solid goals to work towards, so figured this was the best way to ensure I keep up with my training.
3 months ago I wouldn't have even considered something like this. I LOVE my RNY!

Thanks! I signed up for the Mississauga 5K (Hazel/Starbucks run) on May 4th. I figure that will be enough time to get the training done. Which race are you running?

Oops I realized my races are in April! The Harry Rosen Spring Run-Off and the Yonge Street 10K! However my friend Melanie have been considering the Hazel 5K so I may be there after all!

Wow, 2 10K runs... awesome! If you do end up doing the Hazel, let me know (although I'm sure my pace will be much slower than yours!).
