My 1st 5K Run!

About a month ago my friend Trisa told me about a training program 'From Couch to 5K in 9 Weeks' that she was starting on February 11. I had just started working out again at Jazzercise and thought this sounded great! Without thinking about it too much I told her "I'm in!" and wanted to do it with her. So today I will finish my 2nd week of training, which means I have 7 weeks left. I can say it hasn't been too bad so far. It hasn't been easy but it sure feels good when I'm gone! This program really proves that anyone can do it since I'm not a runner and never have been. Kate and I go in the mornings when Grant is at school unless we have the flu or it has been raining (like this past week!). Here are the before and after pictures of my first run. It was a cool morning so I bundled Kate up really nice and warm. She loves to go on a walk and was so excited, as you can tell. She was waving to me when I took the first picture. :-) I think we had only been going for a few minutes before she fell asleep. She does that every time we go. So cute! (Don't mind the date on the pictures; I really need to change that on my camera!)
