Running

So, my dad got me to start running. We're using this Couch to 5K program. It's three times a week. I finished the first week, but I think I'm going to do it all over again. I don't feel like I'm ready to move onto week 2.

 

Dad said once I quit smoking he would get me into running. I guess he was right. And I have a Fitbit now and this weekend we're getting myself some running shoes. I think he tricked me into all of this. (j/k)

 

I'm finding how hard it is to run for 60 seconds with just a 90 second walk in between. Week 2 is 90 seconds with two minutes in between. Since I'm having trouble running for 60 seconds, I'm going to do week 1 over again. Though my last day of week 1 was pretty good. I only stopped running early once.

 

The reason we're going out for running shoes is my current ones are rubbing up against the knuckle of my big toe and leaving a blister. It's better when I put a bandaid over it, but still not great.

 

Halfway through week 4! Woohoo!

That's excellent.  How do your lungs feel?  This is one thing I love about not smoking, clean lungs.  For me it got to a point that if I took too deep of a breath, or if I laughed to hard, I would cough. Not anymore

My lungs feel good. I don't get really out of breath or anything while running.
