Couch Potatoe or 5K Runner??

C25K, is a fantastic program that's been designed to get just about anyone from the couch to running 5 kilometers or 30 minutes in just 9 weeks

Well, starting January 25th I started the C25K program. It slowly progresses from walking to jogging. Each week gets harder. You only run 3 times a week. I'm on week 3 day 2 and honestly-it's kicking me bigtime! I'm just not so much of a runner. I can't give up though.

The kids and I signed up for the YMCA back in January and the kids LOVE going. They have kids fitness classes every Monday and Wednesday that the babysitter takes the kids over to. I meet them there and bring them home.

Well, this week has been pretty rough, and yesterday I just didn't want to go at all. The babysitter was sick and couldn't take the kids. My car had broken down and I really just wanted to go home and veg on the couch and watch Grey's Anatomy re-runs.

Luckily, I have my girlies to keep me going. We ended up at the Y and I got my workout in. It's getting so hard. I feel like I am so out of shape. I'm not winded after I run, it's just my legs that hurt. I stretch before, but they still hurt. Any runners out there with suggestions??

I have lost 11 lbs, which I know is good, but it doesn't seem to be coming off the places I want it to come off :(

So...for now, I keep at it. I keep trying and I need all the encouragement that I can get. It's definitely not easy. So, if anyone has any suggestions on great healthy food, let me know!
