Couch to 5k

Finally got off the couch to start running today. Let me first advise you that I absolutely hate working out because I have never seen results and while I dont want to pay for a gym membership, in reality, I can't afford to pay one right now. My neighborhood does have a community gym but I dont know how to use the equipment and hate running in place.

Gone are the excuses. I have downloaded a number of different apps that are meant to help motivate and coach. As I said I have finally gotten off the couch and did day 1 of the couch to 5k coaching app. Sadly, I wasn't able to successfully complete the "task" of the day but I will try again tomorrow. I have also recruited my sister to come push me as she is much more athletic than I.

I was hoping my loving pup, Cubbie, would also be a running companion but she does not like running with me; she would rather run ahead and pull. If you are familiar with the app you know it tries to pace and challenge and has you walk and run off and on. While Cubbie started off well with the walking, the running part is the challenge and can get really frustrating.

As I digress, I want to wish you luck on your efforts to better yourself in whatever way you have chosen.

Oh on a crafty note, have you ever wanted to keep a key with you and no where to put it? I tried putting it in my shoe but that bothered me. Therefore, I tied it to my hair tie!!!
