Today begins Week 3 of the Couch to 5k program I’ve been following. Week 2 had me running 90 seconds, which wasn’t easy, but it was doable. Week 3 calls for 3 minutes, and I honestly didn’t know whether my body could do it.
My sweet husband decided to go running with me this morning. I was very grateful for the offer of moral and physical support. Although it was tough, I did manage to do it. (OK, I do realize I sound silly blathering on about running for 3 minutes, especially considering I’ve been running for 5 months now. But trust me, this body hasn’t done anything remotely athletic in over 3 years.)
So I know I can do this, and I’m excited that I am making progress. Mostly I’m positive about running, but sometimes I get unhappy that everything is taking longer than I thought, and is proving harder than I thought. Some days it’s hard to believe I’ll ever be able to run several miles without stopping.
