5K Running Plan - Week 1

Just completed week one of my 'learn to run' plan.  Do I feel any better at running?  No!  Maybe need a few more weeks for it to kick in!  3 months from today I need to be able to run 5k.... here's hoping!  Have a health test on Saturday so hoping for a good score but expecting a not so wonderful one.  Either way, it should spur me on to get healthy.  Just need to cut the junk food!  BooHoo!

Update

So, I have been rubbish at keeping up with my blog (and my diet). It's been a long, busy winter and I have had my hand in the chocolate pot a little too often!

However, I have made some progress towards my resolutions. I have been reading a lot more and finished several great books. I have signed up for a 5k and am slowly increasing my running stamina.... the race is in July so I will be upping the ante and as the weather gets nicer there will be more incentive to run outside. I have lost 3 pounds (which I am sure I've gained back today, as the Easter bunny has stopped by). Even though things aren't showing up on the scales, my clothes fit a lot better so all these sessions at the gym seem to be paying off. If I could cut out the crappy food I would be on the road to my goals!
