on february 23rd i officially finished the c25k (couch to 5k) program. i started it january 1st as a new years resolution of sorts, and i must admit that i didn't believe i would actually finish it (and certainly not in only the 9 weeks allotted). but i did, and i'm super proud of myself. this might sound strange, but it's the first goal i've had in a long time. really. it felt really good to push myself and work for something that was achievable but challenging.
the best part is that i think i finally understand why people do this sport. it actually is fun. granted not every run is fun, but i would venture to say that 75% are. i am now thinking about purchasing the b210k app (bridge to 10k), but i will probably stay at the 30 minutes of running 3-4 days a week for a few weeks and see how i feel.
i'm still planning on running the lifestyle sports waterfront 5k next tuesday. although it's a bit intimidating to run an actual race with real runners. i have no illusion about winning, but my goal is to run the entire distance (which i have done 4 times now, so it shouldn't be a problem) in 28 minutes or less. we'll see how it goes.
