Hopeful Success - and a Bit of Motivation

This week has been hands down better than last week. I have done relatively well at tracking my points and am trying to get back in the swing of this whole tracking thing. I did three out of the four days of working out I wanted to do this week, which was also a huge plus. Today I was talking with a girl on my team who works out at the same place I do and we were talking about how sore we are from last night's workout (which was hard but good), and she was telling me that she's almost done with her couch to 5k training. This got me thinking and motivated me to maybe start trying to run again sometime soon. I was at one point able to run an entire 5k (however, it wasn't very fast) but I wouldn't be able to get anywhere close to that now. So I was thinking that on my weeks that I get off at 4:30 I could start some training as far as running is concerned. So not next week, but the week after, I am going to see what I can do about getting started with some 5k training. And I even found a cool Itunes podcast to help me get there. Instead of having to worry with tracking my time and watching intervals, I found a podcast that you update weekly and it does the interval timing for you (with music too!) :) I think that I might take each week and hold it out for two weeks (the 5k I'm thinking of running is in October, so there's no hurry to get ready right away) and that way I can focus on increasing my pace as well as my endurance each day. Just thought this was kind of exciting and wanted to share the link.
