I started training today. I ran and didn’t die. I feel that’s important to note.
I’m following a plan called the “Couch potato’s 5k plan”. Basically, the plan starts slow and builds up to actually running 3 miles on paved road. Today it was run a minute, walk 90 seconds for 20 minutes total. I was suprised that I actually didn’t feel like I was going to die from running a minute straight. I must be in better shape than I thought.
The 5k I’m running is on October 25…which gives me 2 months to get to where I can run 3 miles without having to go to the ER. After today, I feel much better about my chances.
