So that whole "Couch to 5k" thing is not going to work out. And yes, I know I said I was going to try really hard to stick to it. And I did try! But, I think the important thing is that I keep moving in some way. I've played tennis with Stephen, and I walk my awesome, wonderful, happy dog (who happens to be an absolute ray of sunshine -- I am so in love with her!).
I think this is actually more important than sticking with one thing only. I tried it, and the program was moving a little too fast for my ultra-out-of-shape body. I didn't feel any particular sense of accomplishment when I was done; I just felt glad it was over! So I think that as long as I keep moving (physically, and more often than I am used to), that it counts as "sticking with it." "It" being moving, not necessarily in the format of a Couch to 5k deal.

On to new ways of moving! I bought a bike helmet with the awesome assistance of my friend Charlesephine. ------>
I think it is beautiful, and I'm looking forward to getting "back in the saddle," so to speak. I haven't ridden a bike since I was about 8 or 9 years old. I had no interest at the time in learning, but my younger sister B. was learning and it just seemed utterly ridiculous that she should know something I didn't. So ... I learned enough to say I could do it, and when I outgrew that bike I never gave it another thought.
Charlesephine tells me biking is magical. And I like the idea of being able to go further in the same amount of time as walking. I love scenery and trees and such. There is a lovely trail just behind our complex that is for biking and walking, and I'm excited to see if riding a bike really is a thing one never forgets how to do. Wish me luck!
