Couch Potato to 5K, the beginning


Joey and I have just completed our second week of the Couch Potato to 5K running plan. Thanks to the coolrunnings.com folks for putting it together and to Robert Ullrey for putting it in podcast form so our only job is to run and walk when he says to do so. And, thanks to all of our friends who have done this before us and inspired us to lace up the sneaks again. Joey and I were both runners at some point in our past competing - well maybe completing is a better word choice - in 5K and 10K races and would like to get to that point again. Our almost two years of marital bliss has resulted in a few extra pounds, which hopefully running will get rid of. And with the holidays quickly approaching and a calendar full of parties to attend, this is the best time of year to commit to a serious exercise program. Wish us luck and hope to see you at the Y.
