I typically sit behind a computer screen ten hours a day.  I’ve done this for the past ten years.  As I’ve aged, my metabolism has gotten a little lazy.  A couple of weeks ago I decided it was time for a change.  I started by walking two miles after dinner one night.  The next time out I jogged a bit too.  It took me about an hour to go those two miles walking and jogging.

Yesterday, I completed Workout 1 of the Couch to 5k Running Plan (C25K).  That same distance took me 26 minutes, 40 seconds, and 71 hundredths of a second.  Now I realize this time isn’t going to improve exponentially but that’s not why I’m doing this.  I’m just excited to see I can walk/run that distance in under half an hour.

I’m considering registering for the Hoover Run for Hope in November.  I’m not sure I’ll be ready by then but there look to be plenty of 5k runs in the Nashville area.  No excuses.  Just move.
