First off, I am not a runner. I was once upon a time, but since high school... really unless someone or something was chasing me... not so much. I HAVE been walking at least 3 times a week. I tried to walk at least a mile each time and usually wore weights on my legs and was pushing Grace in a stroller. My problem is that the weight was not coming off. So, I figured I needed to ramp up the workout. Since Couch to 5K seemed made for someone that doesn't run... I thought I would give it a go. I will do the program MWF and do a resistance training TTH and then take the weekends off.
I decided to not buy new shoes for this. I just bought a pair a few months ago, so not so much. I have decided that if I make it through the 9 week training, I will splurge and buy a pair of decent running shoes. So I went and bought a pair of arch support inserts. Um, not so much. My arches didn't hurt, but it put a lot of pressure on the outside of my feet. So I will try without the inserts on Wednesday and see how it goes.
I have to say that I was rather proud of myself. I made it through the first workout and even came home and did 20 push ups and 100 crunches... heh. So anyway...
I don't do measurements except weight:
Starting weight: 153
