Okay. So I've done the couch to 5k program successfully before. I've never kept it going much past the finish, but I definitely completed it. So I thought starting it up again wouldn't be too bad. I mean, despite the chub I'm in pretty decent shape, and I walk a lot. But the first day? Was a lot harder than I expected. The first few one-minute intervals weren't bad, but then I started to get hotter and there were hills and I didn't have any water, and oooooh god I forgot how very much more out of breath running makes me than any other exercise.
But I also forgot how awesome I feel afterward. And I finished, so go me! Instead of driving to the track I just ran around the city, which was a little harder on the legs but much more interesting. The only problem I have is that my iPod is a reglar 30g variety, so I have to hold it in my hand while I run. I think I might pick up a super cheap little mp3 player with an arm bad or a belt clip to use specifically for exercise.
And now, a shower is in order.

It's great that you started C25k again. And it's not even Monday. Go you. Another good thing is that you've done it before, so you know you can do it again.
