Hi. My name is Denise. I'm 49 years old and I have decided I want to run a 5k. Now mind you that I don't exercise much less run! I'm not an athlete. I had a PE teacher tell me once that it was too bad that I didn't have any athletic abilities because I had the competitive drive for one. So, what made me decided to do this?
Well, I have been creating a bucket list. As I turn 50, I decided there are things I want to do before God calls me home. For some reason, I want to be able to run a 5K. I think it is because I have so many family, friends and co-workers who run and I want to be a part of the that fraternity. So, I mentioned this to someone and they told me about this phone app called C25K. It is called Couch to 5K. Now, I'm not a couch potato. But all of my hobbies are chair based...quilting, sewing, scrap booking, blogging, reading, etc. So I guess that makes me a chair potato!
The program claims I'll be a 5k runner in 9 weeks. I don't' know what planet the author is from, but in my world, not going to happen. I have already done the first day of the program 3 times. I still haven't made it out of week 1 yet, even though I've been doing it for 2 weeks. However, I have been sidelined with a bronchial infection and have not done anything for a week now. So, when I do return, I will be starting from scratch! So I decided this was a great time to start a weekly blog about my progress. I can share all of my trials, tribulations and triumphs with others who run or want to run. May be I can even inspire someone else out there who had a desire to run! I can guarantee I will be completely honest with my struggles and accomplishments. I can also guarantee that you'll laugh your ass off at me! So, if nothing else, I can humor you while you sit on your couch/chair.
So, I hope you check in once a week and jog along side of me!
Until then,
deniserunning?
