Running Progress

So I'm still on Week 1 of Couch to 5k.  It's ok because I finally was able to complete it!  The last few times (maybe 4 times) I couldn't run when it told me to run... I lasted 4-5 run cycles.  This time, I completed 8 of 8 cycles.  I'm quite excited.  I had to slow down my pace, but it allowed me to complete the day's program.  Looking forward to seeing more progress.  Slowly, but surely.

Eating-wise, I'm doing well. On track and focused.  I can't deny that some days are harder than others.

Running IS hard

So today I began my exercise  journey... it's not easy!

I said it.  I hate it... I want to quit.

I'm following the Couch to 5K program.  Some people (maybe even you) might think Week One is a cake walk... not for me.  I didn't quit... but I lasted 4 cycles... the rest, I had to walk.  It was approximately 30 minutes on the treadmill... 90/60 jog/walk intervals are a lot harder than I thought.

As hard as it is... I can't quit.
