Couch 2 5k - The beginning



Couch to 5k training began today. We had 3 participants, not including myself and met at Lake Benson Park for our inaugural run.

Run started at 6pm and went really well. We warmed up by walking 5 minutes then intervaled 1 minute of running and 1:30 walking for 20 minutes. We covered 1.46 miles in about 27 minutes. Poor Jenn dropped her key on the trail somewhere and we took another two laps around looking for it. Her Mom brought her extra key and saved the day....moral...tie keys down, shoelaces are your friend.

Andrea was in drill Sergeant mode...have to say I've missed that...and whipped Brittany into shape. Brittany admitted later to wanting to curse us all but appreciated the support.

Today was a good day. It's really great to see people taking steps to make their lives better by improving their health. It's the beginning and it only gets better from here.
