Chasing a check mark.

257.6

Well, I've been MIA for a little bit, but that was for good (?) reason.  I was out of town in Vegas for nearly a week.  Had  BLAST but came home early.  Turns out 6 days in Vegas is TOO long.  So we came back Friday instead of Sunday.  No biggie.  But I've been very bad on food/exercise, but I'm back now and ready to keep working.  Fortunately due to the excessive walking in Vegas, I didn't gain weight on our little vacation.  I didn't lose, but I didn't gain. That's something.

So today, I'm back tracking my food in sparkpeople and have decided to try (again) to complete the couch to five K program.  This is a bit of an ego hit.  A) that I have to try "again".  Yes, I have tried a few times this last year and only gotten as close as about week 3.  That sucks.  B) I ran a MARATHON in 2002.  Seriously, I can't run 5K?  But I can't.  I ran the marathon 10 years and 70 lbs ago.  That was a different time and now I have to deal with where I am.  I can not get back there without starting here.  (deep thought, I know...lol).

So, tonight I start (again..no.  START, no locking back) the couch to 5K app on my phone.  It's a nice little app, keeps track of the intervals for you and gives you a little "check mark" as a reward when you finish.  So, tonight I will earn my check mark.  :-)
