Updates...Boot Camp & C25K

A few updates since I have been neglecting this blog since the "plateau"

• I am on Week Five of Couch to 5k. Hooray!
• I am "Running Away with Curque du Sleleil" next Saturday at the Spring's Preserve 5K.
• Yesterday I ran 40 minutes and did a body pump class! That chick was killer!
• I signed up for Boot Camp starting on Monday. Yoowwwch!
• Weight still stuck @ the plateau. A week of South Beach didn't even break it. Maybe Boot Camp will!?!

Losing My Pants

My foot is healed, my ipod's working, it's a good day for running!

Exciting news: I had to hold up my pants while I ran. I lost 1 1/2 inches from my waist the last two weeks and an inch from my hips. Yea!

Also: I am 20 pounds lighter than I was at this time last year. Hurray!

C25K Week 2 Day 1: DONE!

Life is good.

ipod ready? Check.

Last time around I used the Podrunner Podcasts to help me get moving into interval training. While it worked all right, since I really truly am not a big fan of techno, I have finally created my own playlists for this time around. I used advice from Dan's Running Blog to get me started. My current playlist consists of dings for running/walking intervals with this music for week 1:

*Let's Dance - Miley Cyrus (it's from my daughter's CD but it really gets me moving)
*When I Grow Up - The Pussycat Dolls
*Behind these Hazel Eyes - Kelly Clarkson
*Let's Get It Started - Black Eyed Peas
*Pump It - Black Eyed Peas
*Smack That - Akron featuring Eminem
*Sexyback - Justin Timberlake
*Boombastic - Shaggy

I am trying to figure out how to get Audacity to work so the dings won't interrupt my music...but I can't seem to get it right. Guess it will give me something else to look forward to figuring out as I advance through each week???

Just in case I also found The Chubby Jones C25K podcast on itunes. If my playlists doesn't cut it, hers are the next best thing!

Tomorrow C25K (or Tuesday anyway)

I always have the "I'll start tomorrow" thing going on. But for reals. I am. Or Tuesday at least. Since my goal is to run the Disney Half Marathon (or 5k maybe?) in September I better get my butt in gear!

So I am committing to following Cool Running's Couch to 5k (aka C25K) plan to get my ass off the sofa (actually the computer chair) and start running away the pounds.
