i am not a runner . . .

or much of an exerciser for that matter.

I have never hid my loathing dislike of exercise. 

I am just not one of those people who feel good after exercise. 

Despite that I am training for a 5k. 

I am using the Couch to 5k (C25k) program.

So far, I am still alive!

Although, I have been at it 4 weeks and am only on week 2.

I have 3 friends who are doing the program with me. 

And 2 of us have not really exercised in years. 

So, we wanted to start slow.

We did week1 for 2 weeks for us beginners {me}.

Then I tweaked my knee somehow 

and I had to take a week off.

And tonight I will finally finish week 2!

To be honest, 

week 3 scares me to death.

I will have to run for 3 minutes straight

and 90 seconds is kicking my butt right now.

I know 90 seconds or even 3 minutes

 may not seem like a big deal to you runners out there

but just finishing one of those 90 second runs is a huge deal for me.

My birthday is at the beginning of August

and I want to be able to completely run a 5k by then.

That is my goal.

And so far I am SLOWLY completing it!
