Pillow, please

Wow, I am tired! I completed Week One of the Couch to 5K and moved on to Week 2. Um, yes, Week Two Day 1 was nothing short of a swift kick in the rear. I felt it in my feet. I started to get that feeling of panic. Why did I sign up to walk/jog/crawl 13.1 miles. Pardon my language but really, WTF was I thinking??? I finally tried to visualize myself running up to Cinderella's Castle and seeing all my friends waiting for me. It worked. Well, that and I also visualized the Carolina Hurricanes team waiting for me. I basically stare at their team poster and that of retired #17 Rod Brind'Amour holding up the Stanley Cup in 2006. They have become my motivation. I think I might even have to incorporate a #17 somehow into my clothing that day.

I am proud to say that I did it. I wanted to give up but I didn't. I think half of this battle is mental. And I don't give up that easy.

Now I would like a shower and my pillow. Because I am beat!

Here I am

Ok, so here I am and it is now November. UGH. I refuse to let anymore time go, especially since my friend Sonia is rocking. And we are doing this together. I want to be able to hold my head high, ykwim?

I am currently charging up my MP3 so I can do the first week of the Couch to 5k program. Sonia said it helped her complete a 10k and was especially good in terms of pacing. I need all the help I can get! I love Suzedawg's music program, complete with hip hop, Britney Spears and 90's boy bands. It makes me smile just thinking about it.

I plan on updating this blog every couple of days now that February isn't that far away. Plane tickets are purchased, hotel is booked and all I need now is a cute outfit.
