Woo hoo! I just started the Zombies, Run 5k training last Saturday and I'm hoping to run my first 5k in 30 years soon. So I'm guessing no early workout this morning? lol I'm meeting with my trainer today at 4:30, so none for me either.

Nah! No early gym today. I'm taking today off from the gym. Might go for a walk on my lunch break if the rain holds off. But i'll be back at it tomorrow morning! That's great you are training for a 5k. I plan on doing the Biggest Loser 5K in late August - going to try to work my way to jogging a decent part of it. Good luck with the trainer today!!

Try one of the couch to 5K programs. I have hesitated forever on doing it saying "I'm not a runner..." Turns out when you're dropping weight, running is a lot easier! I'm doing the Zombies, Run 5K program and so far in the first week it's very doable. You walk 10 minutes, alternate 15 seconds of running with 1 minute walking 10 times, then walk/run however you'd like the last 10 minutes. Most people can shuffle-run along for 15 seconds. I'm looking forward to amping it up on next weeks missions.
