The Great Outdoors...

Over the weekend, Matthew and I took a camping trip to Woods Canyon Lake with his friends Troy & Sarah. We had a great time. We camped, cooked, fished and hiked! We all survived the trip but have plenty of bug bites to prove it.

On another note, my workout routine has been going well. I know I'm only one week into it but I feel better already. Surprisingly enough, I am excited to go running. It has been a struggle to finish the running each day (I blame it mostly on my bad ankle and crappy shoes). I'm going to end up repeating the first week but hopefully I'll be able to start week 2 next week.

C25K

I have decided that I need to start exercising a little bit more. I came across this running program called Couch 2 5K. Since then I have been thinking about starting it. For about 2 or 3 years now, I have been saying I want to run a marathon. Which, if you know me, is really bizarre for me to say! haha! I HATE running! But I think that I finally found a way to ease into! Couch 2 5K is a 9 week running program that requires you to run 20 - 30 minutes, 3 times a week.

I read that to maintain your current weight, you need to do 30 minutes of physical activity 3 times a week. Because I want to get into better shape, I've also decided that I am going to start Jillian Michaels 30 Day Shred. I plan on alternating between both because I tend to get pretty bored with the same thing every day.

I suspect that I will probably have to repeat a couple of weeks in the Couch 2 5K running program but hope that I can keep with it! And once I graduate the C25K, maybe I might start their 10K running program. Don't worry, I'll keep you all posted on how I'm doing :)
