Couch to 5k

Tonight I started back running! Man it felt so good to run but it was so hard. It has been probably a year and a half since I have ran.....maybe more then that. I can't even remember which is so bad. I found this app on my iPhone called Couch to 5k, it is a 9 week program that gets you running 30 mins straight or 5k if you run that fast. I am not sure I can actually run 5k in 30 minutes but I am sure going to try. I am so excited to be running again. I absolutely love it and hate it at the same time but I really miss it. Right now, I am just doing up to 5k and then I will see where I go from there. I would like to get really good at running 10k in like 45 minutes so eventually I will work toward that. I have to start on a treadmill so I am doing that at the gym. I walked at 3.2 mph and ran at 4.9 mph. I am going to try to keep up this pace for the running. Its going to be hard but I am willing to push myself. I am also going to start doing yoga during one of G's naps. Yoga really helps me when I am running because I get shin splints and IT band issues super easy.
I will keep posting here so I feel like I have someone to report too and it will keep me motivated!

I also wanted to tell you about our family day yesterday. It was so much fun and we didn't even really do anything!!! We took G to get his passport photos taken and he did great! I haven't gone to the passport office yet but I am going tomorrow....keep your fingers crossed they don't reject his pics. Otherwise, I have to go back and get the photos done again. After the photos were done, my hubby suggested we walk around the mall. I was shocked, he HATES shopping! I was ok with it though cuz I love the mall!! We wandered around and while he was checking out putters in the golf store we decided to head to our favorite sushi place for dinner. We made a stop at the health food store for some herbs for me and then went for dinner. We had taken a sushi making class at this restaurant a couple months ago and when we mentioned that they brought us free kobe beef and lobster salad. It was sooooo good!!! I ate so much!!! I love sushi and could eat it all the time! Then we came home and hung out with G and then got him ready for bed. After he went to bed hubby and I played scrabble! It was so much fun!!
