I started running today for the first time in a very very long time. I made the goal that this year I'd stop being a lazy *** and get back into shape and eating better and cutting down on the quality time I have with one of my good friends, beer.
I ran cross country in high school my junior year some 8 years ago and being as I'm about to turn the big 25 I needed a change. I got into riding mountain bikes and road bikes some when I was still living in Abbeville when I was 19 I think and did it everyday for about a year and a half or so before moving up to Clemson. Rode my mountain bike some up here but not enough and after breaking the derailer I made it single speed and haven't really touched it, I'd like to fix it back to having gears and upgrade some things on it but not in the budget now. I've borrowed a road bike from a buddy of mine but haven't really touched it besides messing around the street.
I heard about this couch to 5k thing from my mom or somebody and looked it up. I downloaded an app for it to I guess keep me on track and track my progress. From what I can tell and what I've read I will want to run more then it says but I'm gonna let it get me in the rhythm at first and go from there. Prob try and ride bike on some off days.
So hopefully about every morning at 625am, me and Henry will be setting out on our 3 mile run until I can get my fat *** into shape. I'd like to run the copper river bridge run but well see, April's a busy month from what it's looking like.
I have no motivation to do anything and I get distracted very easily so this should be interesting.
