Couch to 5K

Back in June Marty and I started doing the Couch to 5K running plan.  Not really to get ready for a 5K but to get us off the couch and back to being active and healthy.  This is a 9 week program where you run 3 days of each week, so you would think we would be done by now.  LOL.  Well we're not.  Marty is way farther then me but he is going at my pace so I will keep doing it.  We are on Week 5 Day 3.  Day 3 is 5 minutes of warm up, 20 minutes of running and 5 minutes of cool down.  When we started, I could barely run for 1 minute and I could hardly imagine that I would run for 30 minutes straight.  We did Day 3 Week 5 on Sunday and I was able to run 14 minutes of the 20 minutes and travel 5 laps around the football field.  This is just amazing to me.  I have NEVER in my life ran 14 minutes for any reason.

I will let you know if I actually make it to 20 minutes.
