I'm a little over half way done with my Couch to 5k training program. I can't run the full 2.5 miles I'm currently working on. I can't even continuously run one mile but I'm in much better shape than I was a couple of months ago when I started and that's all that matters. Would I love to be able to run the whole thing without walking? Absolutely. But that will come in time.
That being said there is a half marathon coming up in April that my company is paying for that I am seriously considering signing up for. I have until December 31st to make that decision but I keep thinking about it. It would be a huge accomplishment and would keep me motivated to get better and better.
I lifted weights today for the first time in about three weeks but decided to increase either weight or reps. And I did some different things than I normally do and found myself really enjoying the workout today. I did 15 minutes on an elliptical just for a little cardio then lifted weights for 30 minutes. I was finished in 45 minutes and home in time to cook dinner. Not too shabby!
Today's activities and meals resulted in me coming in under budget for today's calories. Winning.
Let's see if I can repeat tomorrow.
