In preparation for the 1/2 marathon training, a group of us have been running weekly to get ourselves up to 3 miles using the couch to 5K program. It is a wonderful (and tough) program that I had used last fall when I ran 2 5Ks. I had not run since I played field hockey my sophomore year in high school and had no desire to start. Although it's been difficult the running bug bit me. I still can't believe I've committed to run 13.1 miles in only 4 and 1/2 months. I finally motivated myself this week to get back on Weight Watchers and exercise. So far I've eaten on points all week and ran twice, since Monday. I hope I can keep this motivation throughout the training - in regards to eating and running. I'm sore but I feel good. The running also gives me exercise points on WW and now I get to eat 3 more points worth of food tonight...BIG BONUS! I'm not always this gung ho and motivated so I'm sure I'll need some encouragement along the way!
