Running Journey Update

Wednesday I am starting running....my plan is to try to run 10 minutes and walk 3 mins twice.

I have a little worksheet I am working from that a friend gave me! I have really not worked our or ran in years so this is going to be new for me! 10 minutes to some may not seem like much but to me it seems like an hour! I'll let you know how it goes and join me if you want!

My Journey to Running

Starting as SOON as the snow and ice go away...I am going to begin running! I am ready! The kids will both be in preschool two days a week and Crawford will be in three days a week. I plan on at least during the winter getting a run in while they are in school and then in the spring hopefully they can join me in the stroller! I am working towards a 5K so anyone local want to run one just let me know! I am looking for a trainer or group that I can get started with and I already went to the local Fleet feet and got my shoes!
I always pick my shoes out based on Looks! They have to be a certain brand and cute! Little did I know this was a big waste of money. I went to Fleet Feet where they felt my feet(gross I know) especially in the winter b/c I just don't take that good of care of them! :-) They measured them and I found out I needed a size 8! I went from a 7 to an 8! I have always heard your feet grow when you have babies! It's true! The guy said that you need at least a 1/2 size bigger than your normal shoe size for running! Who Knew?? I am sure all of you runners knew but I sure didn't! So I got fitted for the perfect shoe and am ready to go! I am going to post my weekly or daily updates on here! I have 8lbs to lose!!! The second baby weight is not as easy to loose and being home all day makes it harder! I am not buying new clothes, I am losing the weight and getting back into my favorite jeans!!! Stay Tuned and give me any advice you have!!
