I have completed 9 of 27 and/or 6 of 24 workouts. So I am both 33% and 25% through the workout.
I finished week 3 tonight. I haven't decided if I am going to repeat week three for a fourth day or go on to week 4 as scheduled. I feel ok about week 3, but just reading week 4 makes me feel like death could be a very likely result of the workout. I really need new running shoes and that ipod shuffle that I left on an airplane last year. I also think I need an ear bud custom fitted for my right ear. I have tried out 3 different sets of ear buds and the lefties are all perfect fits but the righties just won't comfortably stay put.
I have yet to announce to you all that I got a new job! Although since I know who each of my 6 readers are I feel like by now you all know. I will update more about it soon.

I Was RUNNIN'
Lame title, I know. Did you know to read it in Forrest Gump-speak?
Well I started running and it has been suggested more than once that I use the blog as a form of accountability. So let's hope this doesn't lead to me telling guilt based big fat lies about my athletic endeavors!
Anywho I am doing the Couch to 5K (C25K) program. I have done it before and it worked well but I got a little distracted after a month. When you read the program you think, "90 second intervals, big woop." Well it is a big woop for me!!! This time around I skipped week one and I feel good so far, so I think that was an ok call on my part. It is a 9 week program with 3 workouts a week. It says not to do them on consecutive days, but since I'm off work I am using this week as a little kick start and my body is just going to have to deal!
I figure there are 2 ways to measure this, I have either completed 5/27 workouts OR 2/24 workouts. I know I technically have not done 5 workouts, but I feel like it wouldn't be completely unfair to still get credit for being able to bypass week 1, right?? I mean if it makes me feel better and keeps me motivated, what's the harm? So, I have completed both 18.5% of the program AND 12.5% of the program....but NOT 31% of the program. You follow?
Maybe I should wait till my brain comes down from the workout to rationalize all of this! Oh, and I have zero plans to run a 5K, I just want to weigh 1xx pounds and/or wear a size y.
