I’m not really a runner.
I decided to try the Couch to 5k program for a challenge. Motivation comes easier with a plan and a goal. The Ease into 5k app helps. It costs less than a frappuccino and is worth every penny.

I knew I would get to the point where I needed new shoes. It happened at week three. I woke up, got out of bed, and the balls of my feet didn’t like being on the floor. I was surprised. I thought it would be my arches to go first.

I was nervous about buying running shoes. They imply commitment. They make a statement. (They cost more than 30 frappuccinos!)

I asked the girl if there was anything I needed to know about breaking them in. “Just don’t go like eight miles the first time you wear them.” She was being serious. Did she miss the part about Couch to 5k?

Yesterday I completed week four. My feet feel awesome. There were times where I ran for six minutes. Six minutes! I’m not sure why I’m so surprised by my success.
Maybe it’s because I think I’m not really a runner?
