A few years ago, Katee introduced me to a song by Natasha Bedingfield called "Wild Horses". In that song, there is a line:
I see the girl I wanna be
Riding bareback, carefree along the shore
If only that someone was me
Jumpin' head first headlong without a fall
To act and damn the consequence
How I wish it could be that easy
But fear surrounds me like a fence
I wanna break free
On that note, I'm introducing my next journey! The couch to 5k program.

Can I do it? Of course I can.
How? That's where you come in.
All motivation and good intentions aside, can I really do it? Being that I'm not in any shape to be a runner and I live in the hottest state in the US, is it feasable?
I'm sick of sitting by and watching my life pass me by. I want to be that runner that I envision myself as nearly every single day. Just as the song says, I want to break free. It's time to push myself out of my comfort zone and make real, tangible progress.
What are your thoughts?

You're my hero. This is exactly what I've been looking for. Really, I just didn't know how to find it.
I'm going to do it too.
Let's hope our knees and hips can stand it! :)
Yes, you can do it! I used to not be able to run at all, but I can run several miles now. I've heard this couch to 5k program is excellent. Just take it a day at a time and you'll gain the strength!
DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You can totally do it. I know it. Don't hate me for saying this, but it's easy! it's easier than you think. You just have to do it! It changed my life, I tell you what.
Can't wait for the updates!
Yes, you can! I don't even mean it in a go-get-em cheerleader way - I just honestly think you can. :)
I started running at like 50 and it was so amazingly awesome. That is one of the regrets of my life that I didn't run when I was young enough. Whenever I see someone running I just for it to me me. I could run about two house lenghts when I started and when I finished I ran four miles. That was such an amazing day to me. My hip just won't let me run but I still walk four miles a day and love love it.
