How cool. I ran 8 times for 60 seconds each!

Today I started my Couch to 5k workout. It was tough but the endorphins were a plus. I have been pretty blue since Garrett's passing and I knew working out would lighten my mood. And for me it is a way of honoring the memory of him by living my life to the fullest and by working hard every day to continue to lose this weight.

I did a great job with eating small meals today and drinking 64oz of water! I am just taking things one day at a time. Sometimes I have to take things one hour at a time.

I also have been very busy with school. I want to finish my AA this year and move on to my teaching degree.

I can't tell you how grateful I am for all of your support out there in blog land.

Sweet Dream everyone. May you all have a successful day tomorrow!

  1. Woot! I started a modified couch to 5k. I am not adhering to the 9 weeks rule, as I'm pretty sure its going to take me more than double that. I want to be able to run though!

  2. This is great, Jen. You did so well. I couldn't maintain their pace in April, but I just kept at it. Last week, I was able to run the entire distance (3.1 miles of SLOW running!). It definitely can happen. Stay with it.

  5. I wasn't as close to Garrett as you were, but we did trade emails from time to time and I was really rooting for him in his struggles to reclaim his health.

    As for C25K, it will really bust through the barriers of what you believe you can do. I know it did for me...

    Best of luck on your journey. I look forward to seeing you celebrate a lot of milestones.
