Starting Over...

Let's try this again.

My New Year's resolution is to run a 5k sometime before the spring semester is over. I established this as my goal so that I can say whether or not I actually accomplish my resolutions.

I've started a "Couch to 5k" running program last Tuesday, walking five minutes, running two, then walking five more minutes. I went a little over three-quarters a mile in those twelve minutes. Not bad for not having run in umpteen years. I had for one week run two and a half miles in about 23 minutes back in 2004.

Also as a part of exercising, I plan on riding my bike to and from school on weather permitting days. That distance is right over one mile. I'm also working on yoga and some strength building exercises on Wii Fit this semester.

I'm improving my diet as well. Besides school lunches, I eat bananas, yogurt, raisins, granola bars, wheat cereal, eggs, and spinach, among other "healthy alternatives." Let's see what direction I'm moving in...
