Couch to 5k

David did his first 5k race a few weeks back. He actually ran for a friend who was sick, which mean he hadn't ran in weeks, didn't train, wasn't prepared. And still ran a consistent 9 1/2 minute mile. Damn boy. So now he's decided we should run a half marathon...Oh hey boy lets just get me running in the first place. I have 10 weeks until the Portland Foam Fun Run and this is the 9 week Couch to 5K program from Cool Running. Its actually a phone app you can download but I don't have a data plan. Its only three times a week for 9 weeks, which seems pretty amazing...so we will see how it goes! David will do most of it with me, even though he doesn't need to. I'll keep yall updated. I'll put it under "Workouts" and you can check out the full schedule.
btw*down to a size 14 in jeans, getting close to a 12. progress is progress!

New Shoes!

I've been gone for a while again. I'm pretty terrible at this apparently. But I'm finally moved to Eugene and I've started working out again with my awesome bf David, he rocks and keeping me going. Being the amazing guy he is, for my late birthday gift I was finally able to get a pair of good shoes! He works for Nike and gave me brand new awesome Pegasus+28 shoes (which he also has, we're that couple). I'm a little bummed his store didn't have cool colors and I should've ordered online but I love LOVE love these shoes. It's the first time I've gone running my foot that was broken didn't hurt, my hips didn't keep me up at night and no shin pains. Amazing. So get ready to hear about more running from me!

They're actually much more pink, which I kind of love to rock. Maybe I'll get a pic of my whole outfit cause I'm pretty damn cute when I run.
