Couch to 5K

Okay I am in love with running. Holy endorphins...I need them...bad. I am on week 4 of Couch to 5K. I have really been running for 6 weeks though (I repeated week 2 and week 3 because I didnt think I was ready to advance). Week 4 is awesome.
  • 5 Minute Warm up
  • Jog 3 minutes
  • Walk 90 seconds
  • Jog 5 minutes
  • Walk 2 1/2 minutes
  • Jog 3 minutes
  • Walk 90 seconds
  • Jog 5 minutes
  • Cool down
I signed me and Matt up for our first 5K. My therapist is all for it and doesnt feel like my running obsession is my eating disorder in disguise. I will admit to having some eating disorder thoughts when I think about running but I am not abusing exercise. I think there is a healthy balance I just need to keep myself there and keep going to therapy every week and be honest.

Matt and I are running the 5K version of the Double Bridge Run in Pensacola! So I will face my bridge fear head on as I run over the Pensacola Beach bridge. It sounds all great now but ask me a few days before it!

Blogging Take 2.

Obviously the whole blogging thing didnt work out for me last time. I think it had something to do with Matt being in Korea and me not wanting to relive my days after I got the kids all settled down for bed each night. What a long year that was. Now that it is over I think I am going to give this blogging thing another try. I have found a couple of healthy living/running/fitness blogs that I enjoy reading. I guess I think maybe I might have something interesting to say that someone might find helpful. I also think it would be a cool way to keep family and friends updated with what is going on in our lives. I doubt I will post daily. I don't wanna set up too many expectations. Especially the way things worked out last time :)
