The Couch to 5k

I am training for a 5k. Yes, you read that right. Y'all know I am not a runner. However, I want something to work towards and I need to work out. I have never been a gym rat. I have never been this girl:

But I would like to be. If I do run, I am on the treadmill running a max of 2 minutes. I need the treadmill physically forcing me to run. So, this will be a challenge. I found The Couch to 5k program on another blog, Pawley's Island Posh. Check it out, Julia has fabulous taste in clothing and decorating! I have done two days of the program and so far, so good. It starts out slow, and it's only 20 minutes. It's a 9 week program. I have chosen to participate in the Memphis Grizzlies' 5k. It's part of the St. Jude Marathon. Maybe I'll do that next year. Wait, let's not kid ourselves. I'm excited to have something to work towards and it's a great cause.

I can do this. I think I can, I think I can, I think I can...
