RUNNING
I used to be in good enough shape that I could go weeks without lacing up the sneakers and still be able to run a good 3 or 4 miles. That’s changed. I am starting afresh with the program that initially got me fit for running: the Couch-to-5K. It’s an interval-based, nine week program that starts you off light and eventually kicks your ass into gear.When I first did this program, it was about three years ago and I could barely run around the block without dry-heaving. I felt so accomplished when I “graduated” and took immense pleasure and pride in feeling like I had discovered the athlete within. It feels good to return, for my health and for my sanity in the coming cold months.
Today, I finished the second week. Onward!
