Week 1

So I made some goals for 2013, nothing like lose 50 lbs, but hey that would be nice.  But more like action items, things to do. Things like go on a date every month with my hubby, walk six 5k's. Well on our second date of the year, in SF I needed to walk up 3 blocks to the top of Nob hill. 3 blocks no problem you say. I say fuck that I wanted to cry and hitch hike half way up. I made it to our room, but it got me going about my other 2013 goal. Last year I walked two 5ks, both times it sucked, I did them but ouch, so this time I thought ok, time to look up that couch to 5k thing I saw one of the thousand times I joined WW. I looked at it also looked at the Mayo Clinic's 5k program I liked it because well my first 5k was in 7 weeks, I had to get my butt moving....and even more so because my first and second were back to back. I started my program on a Thursday, no time to waste or I might forget how painful that hill was. I'm good at starting things, but let me just say I'm not so good at keeping up with working out. I'll start going to the gym with a friend, then they'll cancel, or I have something come up, then miss a day, or 50. I needed to do this with my partner the only person who choose to bring life into this world with my my hubby.

So week one we hit the gym, no biggie we find going after the boys are in bed nice, since we have a roommate who can stay with them, but at the end of week one you walk 3 miles...If I waited till 8:30 I would talk myself out of it.  So I called Mike right after I got out of work and asked, or told him to meet me at the gym we had an hr before the kids were out of school. I got my 3 miles done in 75 minutes, that's right, 75 LOOng minutes, after mike was done in (45 minutes) I told him not to worry about me and go get the kid, I wasn't even at 2 miles yet. I thought ok lets see where 60 minutes take me, then I got there and thought ok I'm a lot closer to 3 miles, lets see how long it takes. Goal set match.
