Today was the start of week 5 of the Couch 2 5K plan for me. It's been going really well and tonight I did more running than I have in a year and a half and it felt really good. The kiddo joins me for the majority of my runs, but I'm trying to do a least one a week with out him for a little alone time. I've even been meeting up with my running group again, usually twice a week. I see them on Saturdays sometimes, but they are usually pretty far into their long run by the time we get out there. I've registered for the Tours des Fleurs 10K in September and Muddy Buddy in October, so I'm trying to stay on track so that I can run as much of the races as possible. This week will be a little tricky since we are going out of town. By this weekend I'm supposed to run a full 2 miles with no walk breaks - but I'll probably end up just repeating what I did tonight when we get back and then repeat this week's plan next week. It's been so nice to run with my friends again and everyone loves to see the kiddo when he joins us. I have some loftier plans, but I'm not going to get serious about them until I get through these 1st two races...more to follow...
