C25K = Couch to 5K ... basically you go from being a couch potato to running a 5K in 3 months. I'm past the couch potato phase since I've already started my own "program." I would definitely have to change what I'm doing. But it would totally be worth it. Now I just have to find a 5K near me in July. I'll be in Alabama then...if anyone has any ideas. :)
Cons...
- I'd have to (ugh!) wake up even earlier or walk at night in the dark, since I would rather go walk/jog/run/whatever when my "track" is clear... (I currently go and walk around the soccer field at school. Kids have to be in by 8, so I'd either have to go at 8 p.m. or go in the morning before school if I don't want an "audience.")
- I'd have to spend more time in food prep, meal planning, etc. School starts back tomorrow and we only have 1 off day (Easter Monday) between now and the last day of school which means I'm going to already be busy, busy, busy.
- I'd have to give up pretty much all yummy non-healthy foods. ...Ok, so this wouldn't be as big of a deal, but still...Living in a place that has yummy (chocolate) pastries pretty much everywhere is nice... :)
Pros...
- I'd get in better shape.
- I'd lose weight.
- I'd be able to fit into smaller clothes. ...FYI, I've already lost some and can fit into my "old" jeans so YAY for a little progress! :)
- I'd have a goal to work towards.
- I'd be proud of myself...in a non-sinful prideful way, of course. :)
Ok...so the PROS outweigh the CONS. Now to just do it...
Maybe I'll be like The Little Engine that Could. ...I think I can. I think I can...
