New Years Resolutions

Hey all, it's Ashley.  Sorry for the quietness but life has been busy as I am preparing to move.  So Happy New Years!  It's the fourth day into the new year, and I want to know, how are your resolutions playing out?  I have never been one to make resolutions for the new year, because I like millions of other people are notorious for breaking these goals.  But this year is different.  This year I framed my goals in a picture frame and placed it on my wall, so every time I walk by it I remember that I have a goal to obtain, and not some far off fantasy.  I decorated it and placed a boarder around it, it totally looks like a piece of art on the wall, and to any random person that comes into my house will think of it as art, but to me, this is what my life will be focused  on this year. This year my goals are spiritually related or fitness related.  I want to learn to love to run, so when I move out to the East Coast Caitlin and I are going to train to run a  5k.  I was thinking the other day, why wait till the end of February to start training, why not start now, it's a new year, so a new exercise program is mandatory. 

So yesterday I started the Couch to 5K training.  It's basically slowly working up to running a 5k in 9 weeks.  You train 3 days a week, for 30 minutes a day, by intertwining jogging and brisk walking for recovery.  Yesterday was day 1.  All I had to do was a warm up and cool down walk, then jog 1 minute then walk 90 seconds, and back and forth for 20 minutes.  60 seconds doesn't sound to long, right?  HAHA well when you are jogging and staring at the clock waiting for the 60 seconds to be up, it seems like forever!  But I felt so accomplished when I was done, and thought "that wasn't too bad"....today my legs are a little sore but not too bad.  Here is too meeting my New Years Resolutions and hopefully encouraging you to do the same....
