1st Day...Ugh!

On Dec. 1st I had a baby; Ian. I was very fortunate to not gain weight from the pregnancy, but I still have the weight to lose that I had before the baby. In January, a high school friend, Michelle, put a challenge on her Facebook page, "Couch to 5K". That sounded simple enough. 5k=3.1 miles. No problem, right? So Dirk & I went to Road Runner Sports & got me fitted for new running shoes, a new jogging bra, and a Garmin watch/heart rate monitor. We spent a pretty penny, but now I am set to start this training!

Well, I just did my first run. And it was hard! As I was starting, I realized I should have brought my inhaler as my asthma kicked in. Half way thru the run I was really having a hard time breathing. Dirk, Ian & Coco were there to coach me on. I knew it would be hard, I just didn't realize it would be this hard!! But I did it! First day done! Now for a nap...just kidding!
