Ginny and I used the Couch to 5k program to train for our first 5k which was one to benefit Relay for Life in Rockmart. I would have never followed thru with the training had I not had an accountablility parnter! We only got thru Week 3 of the program but we are doing much better now than when we started. I did actually make it thru one day of week 4 one day this week so maybe we will make it to week 6 before we do another race LOL. My goal was 45 minutes and not to be last place. We finished in 39 minutes and 53 seconds and were in the middle of the group so we met my goals. We trained for a flat race and there were a few hills and the humidity was bad but we still survived. I am so thankful that I decided to loose the extra weight and work on getting healthier. The seniors at this race amazed me and inspired me to keep working on getting fit. Several of them finished under 30 minutes. I want to be a happy and active senior and I really need to get healthy now to make that a possibility.
