before
Last week, I’d mentioned the running program to my sister and was met with, “I HATE running. Have fun. No, i don’t want to join you.”
After seeing me survive my first workout & looking through the program details, she asked to tag along on today’s workout. I was ecstatic! Exercise doesn’t seem like so much work when you’re not alone and I’d been trying to schedule a walk with her unsuccessfully for months! She’d actually started walking on her own around the neighborhood with baby Sakura on her back a while ago, so it’s not like she’s TOTALLY out of shape. She’d wanted to go running while carrying Sakura too ~mom & I talked her out of it today, but may need experienced runners to talk her out of attempting that in the future. I can’t imagine that would EVER be a good idea…
We walked/ran around our neighborhood, planning our route so that we ended up at Starbucks so she could pick up her daily caramel macchiato. She did great & wants to go again on Saturday! Encourage her on fb~I’m excited for the next few months! =)

Good luck on your 5kin100days program! I just started mine with the help of the Couch to 5k app on iOS and I finished week 1, day 3. It definitely feels good to workout and I’m hoping to complete the program too.

Congratulations! Isn’t it a great little program (heh, we say that now, in the throes of our first week!!)? I liked having my daughters along on Wednesday. When I talk to them on the phone before they get to school, I mentally prepare them for that night’s plans. Tonight? Another session around Triangle Park. After the last session, THEY THANKED ME. FTW!
