dammit, i've been watching that justin.tv thing all day. well, mainly with a "crap, why didn't i do this!!??" sort of voice in the back of my head. can i sue him for causing my productivity to slide drastically today?
okay, it's not really "slid" - i've been working on 2 new sites and then i got a bee in my bonnet and went down to the boardwalk and actually jogged on and off for a mile and a quarter. (i don't jog. but i did.)
see, i was on the weight watchers message boards (i didn't weigh in today - maybe tomorrow) this morning and someone was talking about a CoolRunning.com "Couch to 5k Training" program and there's some guy who created a podcast with the different weeks... so, i slapped it on my ipod and did the week 1...
the Week 1 consists of:
Brisk five-minute warmup walk. Then alternate 60 seconds of jogging and 90 seconds of walking for a total of 20 minutes.
I did the 5 minute warm up.
Then I proceeded to do the 60 second jog and then 90 second brisk walking intervals... made it through 6 of the 60 second jogs, then my body started turning it into 45 second and 30 second and pretty soon my body was doing the cool down when i should've been jogging.
baby steps, my friends. baby steps
Whatchoosayin'?? (4 yapped)
I just started the Cool Running 2 weeks ago and really like it. By the end of week 1, the running was easier, and I actually got faster. The other bonus is that I wasn't totally sore for days after a run, which made going back out for another much easier.
Good luck!

I listened to the podcast for a few seconds... does he talk the whole way through or is it music with him in between walk /jog? It sounds very cool. I need to get back to walking again
[note from GC: he only does the "get ready to run - 3. 2. 1." and stuff - nothing annoying.]
