My first day on couch potato to 5k!

Okay, so I guess I was pretty motivated today...although maybe a little too motivated...I walked the dog this morning, did 20 mmintues on our rowing machine in the afternoon and I just completed day one of couch potato to 5k...for someone who doesn't usually work out...that's a lot!

I have to say I was very pleased with my "run" today. I did the program without problem and I felt like I got a great workout too! (I can already tell I'm going to be sore tomorrow!) But it was super motivating to start slow at a pace that I CAN be sucessful at...it gives me motivation to continue and get better. I downloaded the couch potato to 5k application for Iphone...which is AWESOME! It let's me listen to my own music while talking me through the program! It makes the 30 minutes fly by! Not to mention that I am lucky enough to live in a BEAUTIFUL area where I can run and having an amazing view of the Chesapeake Bay. I just hope I am able to keep this up...I will be out of town for 5 days this coming week so I have to make sure to run before and after the trip! Don't let me slack! :)
