C25K

I'm starting C25K.  For the 2nd time.  When I posted earlier in the year/last year about running the Disney Princess Half Marathon in Disney World I ran into a pretty big wall when it came to training.  The wall was known as my knee.  I ended up at my GP and the chiro several times because it seemed like no matter what I did/tried to do my knee would just swell up and keep being sore.  

I have come to realize that probably I jumped into the deep end too quickly and my body was not prepared for the amount of miles/speed I was trying to run.  So I've decided it would be beneficial for me to ease my body into a running routine.  

For years I've had a love hate relationship with running.  Actually, I take that back.  I have never had a love relationship with running, except for about 6 months in 2004.  At that time I was studying abroad and we would walk 75 miles a weekend with our hiking backpacks on (about 40 lbs) and I was in the best shape of my life.  Running was a natural extension of that activity level and I would jog about 5 miles a day when we weren't travelling.  That all ended when I fractured my leg horseback riding and wasn't able to jog more than a half mile without codeine.  

So I'm committed to the C25K program.  Here's hoping that I can follow through on it, I have terrible follow through on workouts.....
