I am going to follow The Couch-to-5K Running Plan found on CoolRunning.com. I am starting on Week 2 as I started to build up endurance on my own Week 1. It suggests doing this only 3 days a week so I am going to do one of my exercise videos, perhaps the Rebounder or Turbo Jam. Perhaps Turbo Jam to build up my abs! My husband will be thrilled as I made him buy me the Turbo Jam when we were in a hotel room visiting California in 2006 with the last of what was left on his CC. Shame on me for not using it sooner!!

I feel really good! I am sooooo proud of myself for doing ALL of the 90 seconds @ 4.5 mph. It really wasn't that long to be frank. I imagine it would have been significantly harder if I was doing it at 5 mph. I will start doing 5 mph towards the end of these 8 weeks and beyond.

I am going to miss not walking on the treadmill tomorrow. Even though the weather has been beautiful I would prefer to be at home for right now. When my son gets out of school in mid-June, then we will go outside then.
