After feeling like my running routine has ADD (I can say that cause I really have ADD and know what it is like!!) I decided to do some research online to look for a good training plan. I think alot of my issues are I am trying to hard to be like my friends who run 5+ miles a day !! I want to run, but I am afraid if I start too fast and strong with this transition I will hurt myself. Sooo, I found this awesome site Cool Running It has alot of great information. I decided that Couch to 5k plan would be best for me. However, I plan to do my own adjusting cause I also like this plan Beginner 5k... I want to run more than 3 days a week (as the couch to 5k plans). I have been taking only 1 day off, the beginner 5k plans for 2 days off... hmm I will have to tweak my plan a bit.
Today is Monday.. my plan is to do workout 1, week 1... I will see how far I go... I want to do at least 2 miles. I also think I will do a little on Wii Fit today. (I am feeling motivated today, unlike yesterday.)
Here is the Couch to 5k plan from the site:
