it's time i got back to the good life

hey all! let's see... what to say...

I RAN ON THE TREADMILL!! haha, well not ran, jogged really and only when the man told me too... i am officially doing Couch 2 5k. i was going to wait til i finished the second day tomorrow, but i think that just gives me the opportunity to ditch the idea last minute... f%$# that! i am doing this and i'm gonna rock it. nuff said.

i am thrilled that i overcame my irrational fear of the treadmill... more specifically... flying off the treadmill, hitting my head and waking up to realize i passed out after a failed treadmill experience. i realize the treadmill is the poor man's version of outdoor running, but i want to get comfortable with this before i branch out.

more details on the next 8 weeks as they become available...

    I also have that fear. My inherant clumsiness doesn't help.

    I like that song :)

    But, now I can't stay off it! :-)

    Woo-hoo! Well done you - been doing the C25K too and just started the running on the treadmill thing. I have been really scared of letting go of the handrails in case I fall off as well - glad I am not the only one scared of that, lol!

    Keep up the good work!
