C25K

On Monday my battle buddy, Brea, and I started our Couch to 5k training. Wow, did it feel amazing! We started out walking at a slowish speed of 3.4 for 5 minutes. Then when the time came we bumped it up to jogging at a 4.5 speed. When I jog I tend to really just jog, and jog slowly, almost like i'm hardly lifting my feet. I remember when Sharon and I did a 5k last year for my birthday she told me, "you gotta pick up your feet, and run". And she was right.

jogging at that level felt awesome! I felt like I could keep going. I was sweating but felt so happy running.

My legs hurt yesterday and today, you know, the good hurt after a good workout. I love it!

On to another topic. Have you seen the documentary on Netflix called 'Forks over knives'? It's really good. It's so amazing to me to be where I am now after all the crap I put my body through with eating whatever I wanted to eat; cookies, cake, soda...lots of soda, hamburgers, hotdogs, fried food, etc, etc, etc.

They talk about how a vegetable and grain based diet limit heart disease, diabetes, cancer, etc. I love that I watch it and think, "yeah, it's so true...I've seen it in my own life".   I eat the veggies and grains, and limit my meat intake significantly. Wow! I love eating healthy! I love knowing that I'm doing my body good. I love it and want to preach it to everyone!

Now let's keep it going, and continue exercising!!
