Speaking of running, I want to report some progress. :)
Although my speed isn't quite up to par with the average competitive runner, I am proud to say that I jogged 2 miles straight last night without stopping to walk. For me, this is huge! In just 2 months, I went from struggling to jog for a minute straight to jogging for 25 minutes. My motivator is definitely Madelyn. Whenever I want to quit, I ask her to help me, and I manage to keep going.
I'm hoping to run the Ronald McDonald House 5K in June, so hopefully I will be able to add another 1.1 miles to distance. I would also like to improve my speed. Right now, I keep a slower pace to ensure that I can jog for the entire time.
If you are thinking of doing the C25K program and you have an iPhone, I suggest you pay the $.99 for the app. You can create playlists within the app and listen to your favorite songs while you train. If you pay another $.99, you can add the GPS feature which will keep track of your distance and pace.
This is one of my most used apps! I love it! :)
