I am bound a determined to start running again. I felt like when I was running last year, it was a great and healthy way to kind of release built up tension and anger. I might be the only one who's like that, but I always felt happier after I ran.
One of my derby team mates, UpTa No Good, posted on our facebook page about this 10K/5k/mile run that's going on in August, and she was looking for other people to join, and was thinking it would be a good place to advertise and possible recruit for our team. The place it's going to be held at is an untapped derby mine, and we are the closest team to this area. I thought why not? I have been wanting to get back into running, but all I needed was the motivation to push me to doing so.
Not only do I have this as my motivation, but my friend, Hayley, also is just now starting to run. I told her if she needed a jogging buddy, I would definitely would be down to join her. Luckily she said that would be awesome, and we have planned to start running together at least one a week. We were going to start today, but as we got out there it started to rain pretty heavily. We got one lap in, if that counts.
I'm really wanting to start doing the couch to 5k program. I've heard good things about it, but I wouldn't have any way of keeping track of the time.
Has anybody done the couch to 5K program without the use of the smart phone app? If so, please let me know how you did it because that would be very helpful!
I hope you all have a great day, and DFTBA
