C25K Challenge

I don't want to write about me today so I'm going to write about running...

So here's the plan. I don't run but, if you read my last entry you'd know that I need a challenge, so I decided to do the C25K program. (you can find the complete plan here: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml)

I am heading out this weekend to get a good pair of running shoes and some good outerwear. I've done a bit of research and have decided on a good pair of acrylic socks and some gore-tex pants and overcoat. The exact style and color are yet to be determined.

Week 1 Day 1 begins on Sunday with a 2nd walk/run on Tuesday. My next week will be slightly skewed as I am walking a 5k on Thursday morning with a bunch of friends. I will consider that a general workout and then continue with the C25K on Saturday.

The first workout consists of a "brisk five-minute warmup walk" followed by alternating "60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes". With warm up and cool down, including stretching I'll be doing a 30 minute work out. I hope Sam can handle it!
