let the training begin

I use the word training loosely.  But today I started back at the gym in preparation for my first 5k run.   Running a 5k has been a goal of mine for about a year now.  But I kept putting it off thinking we would be pregnant soon.  When that kept failing then I put it off thinking we would start IVF soon.  Now that I have an official start date for IVF I am going to run a 5k the month prior.  I am not a competitive person so I don't really care if my time is slow.  My goal is to run/jog the whole thing without walking.  I thought about starting the Couch to 5k program up again, but decided to just wing it.  Today I jogged a mile, walked 5 minutes, then jogged another half mile. I figured that was good for day one.  My next goals are to run 2 miles straight through by labor day. That will leave me 2 more weeks to make it up to 3 miles (hopefully!).  We will see!  Tomorrow....back to the gym!
