I have finally gotten myself motivated to start running again.  Well at this stage it is probably more walking than running but it's a start right?  I'm following the couch-to-5k program.  (For the third time)  It is SO easy.  No really.  Trust me.  Before you know it, you are fit and enjoying it.  I must say, I have forgotten just how much I love running.  It is such a great way to clear your mind, work of stress and just be. 

I started on Sunday.  That didn't go so well.  See, Quintus wanted to run with me.  So I figured he is not too unfit, maybe he can do this.  If he gets tired, he could always just wait for Tommie to catch up to him (Tommie walked with Zander and Jay)  Well, Quintus lasted for 3,5 minutes.  See me running, struggling for breath and begging him to rather wait for Tommie lol  I finally convince him to wait, when I turn around and see Jay running (he is like WAY behind me) calling my name.  boy oh boy.

Tonight went much better.  I put Quintus on his bicycle, same with Jason.  Jason was to stay with Tommie and Zander though, while Quintus rode with me.  It was nice having Quintus' company.  It's also a lovely way to get the family moving.  I have been telling myself that I must do this for a long time now.  I'm glad I have finally started.  Once I get my butt moving, I know I'll keep up with it.

I'm hoping to work it up so that I can do a 10 km run.  I know for any runner out there, that is not far lol but that is my target.  I know that within two months I will easily do a 5 km.  Hopefully there will be a race in our area in another four months or so.  I need a goal to work towards!
