I may have been foolish this morning when I dragged my lazy bones out of bed and went for my first run. When I decided what I was going to do, I thought "Steph, you are a 21 year old relatively healthy young person, certainly you can start on week 3 of Couch to 5k." It turns out, however, that although I am young, I am not in the least bit healthy, and when I had to run three minutes, yes a measly THREE minutes I thought I was going to die. But I finished the run/walk of week 3 and thanks to geodistance.com, I learned that I walked/jogged (with an emphasis on walked) 1.75 miles. Oh dear. 1.75 miles of mainly walking and I feel like I may die. But the hardest part is starting, right?
When I got back to my house, I weighed myself, which was another oh dear but I actually can't bring myself to post the number. Suffice it to say, I have a long way to go, but on the bright side. I started this journey, and I refuse to let myself not see this through.
Week 3 of Couch to 5k, Run #1, total mileage: 1.75
