I started my 9 Week Couch 2 5K program last night. I found a podcast that can be downloaded in iTunes. It's great, it tells you when to walk and when to run. I was a little nervous at first, wasn't sure I was ready to run yet, but the 5K I want to enter is fast approaching. I should finish the program a few days before the big day (July 5, 2008). To my surprise, it went really well, it is just the right pace for someone that is beginning a running program. I will keep everyone posted as to my progress over the next 9 weeks.

Well the weekend has finally arrived!  I am about to embark on my VERY FIRST marathon!!!!!!!!  And really, I have everyone here at the Ipod Fitness Center to thank for getting me into position to going for it.

So I was running the other day trying to get my twenty minutes in.  I set my watch for twenty minutes and started both my watch and my Ipod. I then clipped my Ipod onto my shorts and forgot about it.  When my watch alarmed at twenty minutes I reached for the Ipod to find it had recorded the event and I was just over three miles from the house.  I stopped the event turned around and walked back to the house, recording a second event. When I stopped the Ipod on the second event it said I had walked back about two and a half miles. 

Congratulations Tim!

No it's not Tim's 1000th run, but he was the lucky person that uploaded the 1000th run to the VitaLifer site.

"It's exciting to think that we've uploaded over 1000 runs just over 2 months.  We have been doubling our activity each month. "

I did it!
