The wonderful woman who started the Operation: Cooking for Soldier On (OCFSO) (http://www.operationcookingforsoldieron.com/) fundraiser threw a comment out about all the regional reps doing the Army Run (http://www.armyrun.ca/en/default.aspx) in September. I have been thinking about it since her comment, and finally committed last night "out loud" to her and a few others. To the 5K one, not the 1/2 marathon!
I am totally not a runner, but I did download the Couch to 5K program, and completed my first work out this morning (5 min warm up, intervals of 1 min of running and 1.5 min of walking for 20 mins, then 5 min of cool down). I worked up a heck of a sweat, felt pretty good after. We'll see what tomorrow brings.
Through the magic of Wii Fit, I have discovered that I have also lost some weight. Not much, and I am still a ways away from where I would like to be. Maybe now that I don't need a deployment ticker on the bottom here, I will add a weight loss one :o) For the record, I would like to be about 150 lbs, and am currently sitting about 195. The weight is a measure; I would like to be healthy, and fit better into my clothes (or even better, into new, smaller clothes!). I really need to work on my cardio fitness.
SO, in addition to the other randomness you see here, you will also, hopefully, be getting fitness and weight loss updates.

Nice! I am not a runner, either, but DM is training for the Cleveland marathon in May, so I thought I'd sign up to the 5k run the previous day. 1 week of the C25K program down and already my runs are feeling like they are getting easier. I think we just found training partners :)
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome ! We can be ticker buddies! I have one on MCF but I think I'll add one to my blog too!
