Couch to 5K

I'm trying to figure out the things that are missing in my life that would make my life easier. I've narrowed it down to two major items: sleep and exercise. I know I need both, but have a really hard time actually accomplishing these things. I read about how important sleep is... when I should be sleeping, but it's hard to get me to settle down. So what would help me to settle down? Exercise.

So I'm starting a new plan. Inspired by Gracie, Meme and another former co-worker I've got to start exercising again. My only problem is that I have to do it before work. But oh well - I can at least get the time in and not stress.

So I found a free podcast - whoo hoo! Couch to 5K. I like it because their is no music but he just tells you at the time intervals to walk or run. I made it this morning! 4am alarm - but motivated to go. So I got up and asked the puppies who wanted to walk and they both did! Ares normally goes in his crate and lies down. I don't know who needed the 60 second jog 90 sec. walk interval more - me or Ares. At 55 seconds towards the end, he would plant his feet and stop. 115 pounds of stopping is quite severe. And he was totally spooked by leaves or plants blowing - don't tell anyone he's a 115 lbs baby.

Anyway - we did it! 5K this morning and crunches and push up done! It's 5am and I'm going to get ready to start my day!!! WHOO HOO - okay we'll see how excited I am after a week of this. But I'm going to stick to it!
