Yep, got excuses for starting to run this past Monday.
Shortly after my last post, I stepped in a hole in my front yard on the way to the mailbox and tore some tendons and tissue and such in my left ankle. Luckily, no fractures, but had to wear my pretty "boot" for a few days and it was painful for some more days.
Day after Thing 1 and I returned from High School camp, worked 9 hours at our church youth group's food booth. Needless to say, I slept most of Monday away!
BUT, (and that's a big "but") I did start the Couch to 5K in 9 weeks TODAY! Bought new shoes yesterday, so my feet hurt a bit (will purchase some Super Feet inserts today to help compensate); chose the wrong direction to run, as I hit a couple of small hills that didn't help with the running times; and only ran for 1 1/2 of the running times (I'm REALLY not in any kind of shape to run for anything!).
I started. That's all that counts. Although, it may take me 12 weeks to run a 5K, instead of 9. Stay with me, loyal readers!
