you have to crawl before you can walk

or in my case, buy new running sneakers before you start C25K.

It all starts Sunday, ladies and gentlemen. The first week of my nine week adventure. I haven't had a decent pair of running sneakers since I ran track in high school (okay, so I actually did shotput, I never ran more than a mile or two). Everyone knows you have to have a good pair of running sneakers to keep your feet nice and comfy - plus, who am I to not buy shoes when the option presents itself?

So hopefully these last me a little while. I know I'll need another pair before August 10th (is it me, or is that early?) but I'm hoping I can get by with just two pairs.









That is the course. As you can see it's right on the water for a good portion of the course. It's a pretty 7 mile stretch, I just hope I able to see all 7 miles in one sitting! (and not in a car!)
So as of Sunday, I'm officially in training. Yeah, most people probably don't need 7.5 months to train for a 7 mile run, but I am not most people. I'm better.
