Couch to 5K: Ready to Rock this City!

I used to run pretty frequently. If you met me, you'd think that isn't possible. In fact I told one of my friends from professional school that I used to run a couple of miles a week, and she looked at me like I was telling her I used to be a judge on American Idol.

I tried the Couch to 5K program about a year ago. I didn't get very far because my attention span is about as long as a goldfish's and I kept losing track of the time. (Did I run for 2 or 6 minutes? Is it time to walk? Where am I?)

So, when my work said they were starting running groups featuring the program, I was sold. I can follow someone who is better at time management than me?

I know there are apps out there that will tell you when to run/walk etc. I don't have a smart phone. I know. I may as well be driving a Yugo with a pet Dodo. My father-in-law can't even check his voicemail, and he has a smart phone.

We start the plan next week. Wish me luck! If you see a group running, I'll be the one with the Walkman in my fanny pack with Velcro shoes on.
