Couch to 5K - Loving it!

I am absolutely loving this running! From the very beginning of this journey, running has been a goal of mine. I remember when I would walk I would get this urge to run and couldn't because of my size. I think it is about freedom - of busting out. I remember as a kid just running everywhere - I never walked. And one year ago, I couldn't have run to save my life. But I can now! Only in intervals but I have completed Week #2 - Day #2 of the Couch to 5K program at www.coolrunning.com - such a great program. I feel so good after my run and I have been able to do it - its hard but I am doing it. I feel strong and I feel free! I am so glad I started this. I have set a goal of running 5K at the community half-marathon next June. And my husband has joined me in this goal. We have purchased a new treadmill and are both using it to train. So great to be doing this together! I love it!

I just printed out this program and am going to start it tommorow. I've got my shoes! But I'm nervous that I won't be able to do it because I weigh 214!
