the shoes made me do it. evil shoes! i put my new running shoes on tonight and did the unthinkable...i went out for my first serious run since high school. crazy!
i'm using a 13-week couch to 10K program i found on the web to train for a 10K i want to run at the end of october. since there are only 12 weeks until race day, i decided to skip week 1 and dive into week 2's first workout.
it looked simple enough on the computer screen. warm up with a 5 minute walk. then run for 2 minutes and walk for 2 minutes seven times. then cool down with another 5 minute walk. piece of cake, right? piece of upchucked cake!
okay, i didn't puke, but i sure felt like i wanted to a couple of times. thankfully, that passed and i almost enjoyed parts of my run.
one more interesting thing i noticed: when you're walking time runs fast. when you're runnning, time slows down. so if you want to live longer, run? (that makes NO sense!)
