Day 1 is in the Books

This morning I did it...I started Couch to 5 K. Jason had to coach a double header and that meant he had to be out of the house at 8:30. I checked out the hours for the gym on a Sunday and knew it was open 7-3. That meant...get out of the house 1st thing in the morning and get it done!

I got up just before 7 and got ready to go. Then my first oops...I got to CVS to get a bottle of water...and my wallet and cell were at home. OOPS! I turned around and got it, then headed back to CVS. 2nd oops....it was closed. Ha ha ha ha ha ha. So that meant buying my water at the gym...thankfully it was just $1.

I finally got to the gym and was ready to go. I put my sneakers on and hit the treadmill. 5 min of a brisk walk and then my first 60 second run. It was good. I had to alternate 60 seconds of running with 90 seconds of walking for 20 minutes. Some were hard 60 seconds, some were not as hard...but at the end of my 25 minutes I felt damn good. I had accomplished it. It's that workout three times this week, then week to and ramping it up and being closer to completing that 5k.

Got home, had oatmeal and played with B...it was an awesome start to a Sunday. Day 1 is in the books!
