Couch to 5k, completed week 1

I stared the Couch to 5k program last week! I have an amazing running buddy/friend that has completed it already and is backtracking her progression to start over with me! REBECCA thanks again :) I def wouldn't have made it through week 1 with out you!

If you aren't familiar with Couch to 5k check it out!

Week 1 was a bit tough -

Day 1 - I felt great - I thought I can do this, this is awesome. Had some minor leg cramps at home that night but nothing that some Potassium and water with lots of stretching can't fix!

Day 2 - Ughh, it was harder than Day 1 but I still completed it and felt OK after we were over.

Day 3 - My thoughts were - SHOULDN'T THIS BE GETTING EASIER?!?! I did it, it was tough and man did I sweat. It makes me wonder how bad week 2 will be tomorrow.

Over all I am really pleased with this and really enjoying the runs and making myself healthier. I worry about the impact on my knees (sadly, I have put on enough weight where that concerns me) but so far so good and hopefully with Weight Watchers and working out and running my weight will continue to go down and those worries won't matter!

Tomorrow starts Week 2. I think I can, I think I can....
