I Started Today!

I offically started The Couch-to-5k Running plan today. Today started Week1 and I completed Work1

It consist of the following: Brisk five-minute warmup walk and alternating 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.

I know I was not suppose too...but I have to admit I end up doing more then 20 minutes. I must work on following the rules...but I was not tired.

My eating today was not the best...it was the last day of the year and I splurged on some of my favorite foods. I know that I will be cleaning my diet up on January 1st so I feel I deserved it. However, I did manage to get some protein in with my coffee. :)

Breakfast
Coffee with Whey Protein

Lunch
Small two-bite brownie
Cheetos

Dinner
Beans and rice
Biscuit

I need to work on my water because I only in 16 ounces.

Here is to Success!

I know I am a little early...we still have a few days before the New Year! Since Monday is the start of a brand new week...there is no time like the present. I have so many things I want to accomplish but above all I want to compete in the Rocking and Roll Half Marathon in Virginia Beach. I've long for this goal for the last two years but have not been successful. Due to the fact of me putting other people and other things before myself. I vow that I will that I will be apart of this event on August 31, 2008. I've set the goal now the hard part begins. :)

I don't consider myself a couch potato by now means however, I'm not an avid runner so I have alot of hard work ahead of me. And I'm up for the challenge. I've started this blog to help keep me motivated and as a way to guage my success. I think having this page will help keep me accountable and on track.

I know nothing comes without hard work and determination...and I'm more determined then ever. I know that I need to work towards small goals in order for me to accomplished the Half Marathon in August. I will start training for a 5k and compete in my first race on February 2, 2008. I'm so excited!!
