C25K

June 28, 2009

I accomplished my first day of 5K training.  Phew.  I think I can do this.  Percy is doing it with me all the way over in Lousianna.  What a champ he is.  Glad to have him on my team.  He makes me happy.

If you’re thinking about doing the Couch to 5K I highly encourage you to do it!  I believe anyone can and, I know it was only my first day, I think at the end of 9 months a 5K will be nothing and I’ll be much happier in my skin.

Couch to 5K

June 28, 2009

Today I begin the Couch to 5K program.  It’s a nine week long running program that helps beginners make running a habit.  I guess most newbies do too much too fast and end up hating it (I’d be one of them) so this program claims that it starts you off slowly and gets you going without over working you.  Anyhow, today I’ll begin the three times a week program for the next nine weeks.  I thought about taking a before picture followed by another picture each week of my bodies progress but I’m thinking I may not post those.  That is all together too embarrassing.  Maybe at the end of my getting healthy journey I’ll post them to see where I came from.  I guess stay tuned for the next few months and check me out! :)

So my sister and I just got back from house/dog sitting on the Big Island of Hawaii… I took some pictures at a Botanical Garden just North of Hilo and thought I should share them.  So here are a few… you can see the rest of them (along with more pics of the dogs) at http://jennifereileen.com/hawaii2 if you’d like.hawaii_006hawaii_019hawaii_026hawaii_030hawaii_039hawaii_033hawaii_001
