I’m doing something I haven’t done in years. I’m running. And I’m not even running from someone, or something; just running for no real reason at all. As I head into my 30′s I’ve noticed my stamina not being what it should be, and I had a thought the other day that kind of scared me. Do I want to look back in 20 years when my body is much older and wish I had done more to take care of myself? Now my running is purely for fitness reasons, I have no weight to lose.

I’ll keep a running update on my running in the weeks to come. (Pun intended.) I’m using the Couch-to-5K Running program from coolrunnings.com. This running program seems perfect for the beginner, not to hard at first, but gradually getting more and more difficult over the 9 week program. And I’m using these super great FREE podcasts from Robert Ullrey that I found online. There is a different podcast for each week’s running program. The podcast are great because they have this cheesy running music that makes you feel like you are in a music video, and verbal queues ato tell you to run or walk at the appropriate times.

Anyways…. Here’s hoping all my running gets me somewhere.(Pun intended, again.)
