Couch to 5K

Joe's parents were gracious enough to give us their old treadmill. Rewind a couple of months when I found the Couch to 5K running plan. I thought this couldn't not be so bad.

But I what I didn't remember was that I am not a runner. I don't breathe right, I feel like I am dying. Dreaded those days in gym class.

This first week you start with a brisk 5 minute walk and alternate 1 minute of jogging with 90 seconds of walking. Doesn't sound too bad.

Those 60 seconds of running are the longest minutes in history. Between not breathing, dogs barking, almost falling off, it can be pretty dramatic. But I have finished 2 days so far. You are supposed to advance but I think I should probably not want to die during the 20 minutes before I try to run farther.

We'll see how this goes....

It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year!

Christmas is here!!

And I have ONE gift purchased so far...I am so good! Well, I did buy myself a steam mop and told Joe that it was my Christmas present and he did a good job so that counts right?

I will soon post pictures of our humble Christmas tree. Joe and I went out early on Black Friday to score a deal at Lowe's! Although later we had a conversation in which Joe informed me that he would be okay if we didn't have a tree! Men!

But he did put up Christmas lights outside so maybe he won't get the Grinch award! Are you ready for Christmas?
