About me

Location	Portland, OR, United States
Introduction	I have never been a runner. In fact, I have always found running to be completely miserable. But.... I've always been jealous of runners. It's good exercise AND a good stress reliever. Both of which I could use. I considered that maybe my problem is that I've always tried to do too much too soon. So I googled "beginner's running schedule" and came across the Couch-to-5K program - a 9 week program that works you up slowly from simple run/walk routines to being able to run for 30 minutes. I decided to give it a shot. If after 9 weeks, I still find it miserable, then I'll quit. But I'll give 9 weeks of dedication to try it out. This blog is the story of that journey.
