Back in April I was sitting at home on my mid-day break and decided that I needed to start running. I have been talking about want to do a 5k for
months years, but I never actually started running. So, I went to the app store and downloaded a running app, went outside and ran. Yeah, instead of jogging I ran,
awful idea! I made it less than half way through the workout and gave up. I posted about it on Facebook and quickly found out that a lot of my friends were using C25K and loved it. That weekend I used C25K and loved it! I did very well with the program until early June. The weather got hotter, I was thrown into last minute wedding planning...list 100 other excuses, I stopped running. I have hated it since I stopped, but once again, I just didn't get out and run. When I was doing the program I felt great! Physically I was learning so much about my body and loving pushing through the pain and accomplishing each workout. Emotionally running did wonders for me, I have always heard people say "running is cheaper than therapy" and thought they were full of it. But as someone who struggles with depression and anxiety running actually helped me A LOT(way more than my psychiatrist does). I was proud of myself for working so hard, and I just gave up. Well, I'm tired of the excuses and feeling the way I do. Tonight, I'm going out and starting over again. I'm posting though, so if anyone is reading this blog I can be held accountable. I need someone asking me if I did my run, how it was, or just reminding me to get off the couch. Having an accountability partner makes it better. So, hopefully the next time I post, I will have completed one or two workouts. To hold myself accountable I will be posting pictures from the app I use when I'm running. Take 2...here we go!
