Hello all -
Never been a runner and have always envied the people who can run. Can't say that this is my first time starting a program that is exercise related. My track record for finishing such programs is not good mostly because life "gets in the way". I am overweight, turning 40 this year (eek) and spending my day working (aka sitting down behind the computer), and evenings driving my two kids from one sport to another (while finishing up work either in my head or while waiting for the practice to end). The main goal for me with this is to lose some of that extra dough that I am carrying around and become healthy. Secondly, my son has a 5K run in early May (benefiting his school) and my goal is also to surprise him and do the run together this year. Too ambitious? We shall see...
Today was Week 1, Day 1 and I did it. I feel good. My heel hurts a bit (I have heel spurs) but hoping that the pain gets more manageable/better once I lose some weight and figure out how to actually step when I run. As I am writing this, I have anxiety about Day 2 already (I am a planner and tend to worry a lot (and yes, sometimes without any reason), it's just who I am). I am skeptical of this program but really hoping it will work as long as I do my part. I am worried that doing this on my own (without the family knowing) will be hard which is why I am hoping for support and accountability with this post.
Thanks all!
Kat
