Just in case you're an excuse-maker-upper (like me), check this out:
so ... I feel about 2 inches big. I am like an excuse machine.
Getting out today was harder. But I did it. The aforementioned video helped.
It's soooo cold here. Single-digit highs this weekend. I had to work today, but only 9-12, so I figured ... I'll just run after. Problem #1 - It's cold: I didn't want to go back out after knowing what the outdoors had to offer. Problem #2 - I was hungry.
Anyway, I got out. Got to the fitness center and it's busier then usual (read: there were more people there than just me and possibly my roommate). And all the treadmills were full. So I did 5ish minutes on the bike and a treadmill freed up. I was embarassed to do my walk/run thing in front of other (more fit) people, but I sucked it up and did it anway. (go me.)

Yes, I did the couch-to-5K today. and I loved it. Especially the podcast - it was everything I hoped for. I wasn't a slave to the clock today and it made the run so much more enjoyable. And the music is really upbeat as well.
One problem: I didn't realize you couldn't listen to podcasts as your music during Nike+ workouts ... oh well - Nike+ will have to wait for 9 weeks. He'll probably log better when I'm not changing my pace constantly anyhow.
p.s. Not that you couldn't notice on your own, but I changed the layout. I really liked runner girl, but that white on black was killing my eyes.

Hi lisa
You go girl! lol @ "I was embarassed to do my walk/run thing in front of other (more fit) people, but I sucked it up and did it anway. (go me.)"
It reminds of when I started as well and I always felt other joggers were sneering at me during my walk breaks but I soon got over it reminding myself that they also had to start from somewhere
Keep it up!
Like the new layout. Much easier to read. Not as 'hip' though. :)
I've had a problem with the idea of running around the lake at work until I'm a 'real' runner and don't have to walk. Someone pointed out (and it's a little bit different trapped in a fitness center) that people are so self involved, do you really think they'll notice?
I thought it was a good point. I'm still not run/walking around the lake though(schedule conflicts) but I think I could now.
