I dig morning walking. Mostly because I am inherently lazy and prefer to get all the sweating over with early – which is why I tried my hand at jogging. Running and fitness walking burn the same amount of calories. My thought was that I could get my morning sweatfest over with in a half hour instead of 45 minutes or an hour. I actually completed the couch to 5K program. My knees weren’t quite ready for the abuse so as of late, have backed off the jogging. It’s nice to be able to walk down stairs one foot in front of the other instead of stepping on each tread with both feet before continuing onward. My results of the c25k program were ok I guess. I never did make it the whole 5K. I got as far as 2.5 miles. Really, I’m so ok with that. I went from never running any miles ever…in my life, to being able to run 2.5 friggin miles in 9 weeks. That’s sheer insanity if you ask me. It’s these victories that keep me going. So, though I’m not running any more, I know I CAN if I want to. (or if I’m being chased by zombies or something)
