I have always said, "I'm not a runner, in fact, I CAN'T run. I have asthma, bad knees, yada, yada, yada."
What a load of bull I've been feeding myself and anyone who would listen! Not only can I run, but I can actually enjoy it. I started the Couch Potato to 5k training a week ago in preparation for the Chik-fil-a 5k in September, and I've never felt better! This combined with healthy eating while doing Weight Watchers, and I feel like a million bucks.
I have decided that if this goes well, I will sign up for a 10k, and if that goes well I will train for and run in the St. Jude half marathon in December 2012 in honor of my Dad.
Yay for pushing our own personal boundaries!
