Couch to 5k

This evening as I talked with SRB over dinner, I decided that I need a new goal. I told her that I'd like to get in shape well enough to travel next summer.  I want to tour Europe, but in order to do that I needed to be able to handle walking long distances.  Somehow, our conversation changed.  . . and we started talking about the Race for the Cure Race in October.  Our conversation migrated to a discussion about a Couch to 5k link the ND had sent me.  I think I can do it!  I'm going to do it, I'm sooo excited.  

So, tomorrow morning I'm off to the gym to either do water aerobics or walk on the treadmill.  I'm going to try to train (walking) night and day until I feel like I can run for 60 seconds.  I've got to be able to run for 60 seconds straight in order to do Couch to 5k.  Couch to 5k is a 2 month program.  I've got the whole month of August to get running!  Going to buy some new sneakers tomorrow.
