What doesn't kill you makes you stronger...or so I hope!

Granted its only Day 1 but I'm hoping it will continue far longer than a day, a week, or even a month! I'm sure you've heard of this app called "Couch to 5K." I know today wasn't the first day I've heard about it, but it wasn't until today that I used it! I used to run quite a bit (a year or so ago) and even ran a 5K in a pretty decent time, but I've lost that drive to run (don't know if I ever had "the drive" but you know what I mean). I've never enjoyed running. It's actually probably one of my LEAST favorite things to do...(second to going to the dentist)! 

 Anyways, I told Jared I wanted to give it a try. Partly to keep him in the habit of running in preparation for his PT test coming up in November, but also to hold me accountable! I want to exercise, be healthy, eat right, yada yada, but some days I just want to come home, lay on the couch, eat what I want, and not spend time exercising. However, I think know I have to be more active than I currently am! So...I thought this app would be a great way to help me get started. I have it on my phone and play my music while running but the best part about this app is that it will pause your music (for only a brief second) to tell you its time to walk (or run)! It actually made the 25 minutes of exercise only feel like 10 minutes (crazy, I know)! So...you do this 3 times a week and each week it gets a little bit harder until eventually you are running for 30 minutes consecutively! And...in addition to me needing this app, a fresh coat of Chapstick, gum, and hair pulled back tight...all I need is a little go music!

I know this song is about a breakup with a boyfriend but the words, "what doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is pretty applicable to exercising too, don't cha' think?!
