Couch to 5k Week 1 Run 1

I overslept my alarm this morning and woke up in a panic, I live in the South and pretty much any time past 8:30 am is unbearable. Fortunately (or unfortunately, depending on how you look at it), the morning stayed cool, so at 9:30 I set off for my first run of C25k. I wish I didn't have to write this, but ouch. I am WAY more out of shape than I thought. But, I finished, and I love the way I feel after I workout, so there you go. Step 1 (actually go for a run) in my goal to run a half-marathon: CHECK.

How was the run itself? Painful, but manageable. I figured practicing on a few hills could be a good, albeit painful thing. I stand by my decision, mainly because it allows me to believe that had I been running on a flat surface this run would have been a breeze.

But oh, I long for the air-conditioned gym of my college. It had TVs, and air conditioning, AND fans on the cardio machines. Heaven. Fortunately, a quick search of my future law school's gym shows me that I have much to look forward to. There are three gyms with cardio machines and an aquatic complex that looks like heaven. I'm already starting to see the advantages of the big time sports university...
