35 year old Club Kid

Last summer when I started the Couch to 5k program, I did little more than look at the recommended schedule, grab a stop watch and hit the street.
But it got progressively harder trying to count the seconds on my watch while trying to prevent my heart from arresting and my shins from exploding. When I decided to pick it back up this time around, I have to admit I was going to go rogue and leave the stop watch at home and wing it.
Then a friend let me in on a little secret.
You can download a program right onto your MP3 player.
(yeah I said MP3, not an iPod. If you were paying attention, you also saw that I was using a stop watch and cant count seconds and jog at the same time. We be simple folk. Got it? Ok back to my tale)
Anyways, this program comes complete with house music and reminders of when its time to walk, and when its time to jog. I felt like I was in a night club.
Only instead of dancing around the DJs turntables, you are running outside in broad daylight and the DJ is riding along in a car beside you, dousing your lungs with gasoline and flicking matches at you.
I will admit though, that the torture was much more tolerable when you dont have to count and there's music blaring in your ears covering up the whimpering.

And so begins the odyssey. (again)
