5/24/10 .... and so it begins

My mom has been going to a No Boundaries Couch to 5k through Fleet Feet for about 6 weeks.

They started one at 61st and Yale, that meets at the Fleet Feet store. I figured since I work at 61st and Yale ... I should go for it!!

So - day one -
We did two 13 minute miles -- alternating between running for 1 minute and walking for 3, 9 times

I am proud of myself. I was able to run 8 of the 9 times!!

Problems -

• I was wearing the wrong shoes - these shoes are made for toning backsides while walking ... not really running
• My shoes might have been too tight, my left foot was numb most of the time
• Mom tells me (she learned through her classes) that you have to have the right sock .... and I don't think I did - I almost rubbed blisters on my heels
• I had a regular t-shirt on .... I wish I had a shirt with wicking capabilities!!!

Soooo ..... if any of you are just wondering what you could give me to help me in my new running task ....... I could use new shoes, socks, and a shirt ..... or a gift card for Fleet Feet where I could get those things! HAHAHA Just kidding! Thanks for reading! Post any comments you have!!
