I ran!

I ran. I've had a couch to 5k app on my iPhone for months, but haven't bothered to use it. I finally bothered.  I have now completed three days, so I realize I'm just a newbie, but I think I've found what I need. I have it set on beginner mode and set it to run 10 seconds, walk 50. Baby steps, but it works and I don't feel like I'm going to die after. As my wind (and muscles) improve, I will gradually up the ratio of running to walking and the program extends the number of reps. Yay to lolo who makes terrific fitness apps. I started out with the Beatburn Treadmill/Outdoor Trainer on my iPod back when it first came out. It was probably the first fitness app I purchased and it was always the one I used the most. Then when Jeff Galloway's Ultimate 5K was released, I jumped on it as well, just didn't use it right away. Better late than never, and I feel great. Surprisingly, I don't even have an exertion headache.

When I got home, I broke open a fresh coconut, drank the milk, and pried a few pieces of the meat away from the shell for a quick snack. I'm really not even thinking about dinner, but I'll eat a few black grapes and go from there. Maybe I can find some marinated salmon in the freezer if I look really hard.

Feeling groovy. :)
