Well today's the big day -- day 1 of my "Couch Potato to 5K" program.
Not sure when I'll fit it in since I didn't get out of bed early enough
to do it this morning and I've got to watch the two hour series finale
of Boston Legal tonight, but its only a "Brisk five-minute warm-up walk.
Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a
total of 20 minutes". The weekend, once again was filled with several
restaurants and unhealthy treats - hopefully once I start exercising and
seeing results it will curb my cravings for junk food or at least
counter act the effects. As I was laying in bed last night fighting
for position and some covers with 3 dogs and a mastiff laying beside me
on the floor snoring as my wife and daughter sleep on the couch in the
living room, I was thinking about how I would run this winter -- I
already belong to two gyms that have no running track -- I think I've
decided to quit LA Fitness and move to the YMCA -- I can't quit the
other one because I'm locked in for another 6 months or more -- The Y
has a track and family locker rooms so I don't have to spend my morning
with the 70 year old naked guy reading the paper in a lawn chair by the
shower. Not quite sure how I'm going to pull this off with the wife,
but I'll figure something out. Until then I guess its outside in the
cold or the treadmill at the health club. My first goal on the horizon
is the Human Race 5K on March 14th
