I've contemplated the idea of getting myself back into shape quite a bit over the past year but I keep pushing it to the side, saying I'll get to it sooner or later. Over that time, I've developed a bit of a beer gut. Not so much a belly, but a little pouch that goes out about an inch or two. It could be worse, but I don't want to let it reach that point. Instead, after talking to various runners and doing some research, I've decided enough is enough. It's high time I take the first step toward getting myself into shape.
While doing some research on the topic of running, I stumbled across the C25K, or Couch to 5k, program. Basically, it's a 9 week workout program where one goes from a sedentary lifestyle to being able to participate in a 5k. Ideally, I'll be able to run the whole thing. For detailed information on the program, check out this site:

I will be updating this blog, at the very least, after every exercise section is completed. At the end of it all, I'll hopefully be prepared to participate in a 5k. At that point I will be posting information about the event and my experience with it. To anyone who ends up taking the time to read this: thank you. This blog will serve as my journal throughout the program and, hopefully, inspiration for someone else to start it themselves.
