new runnings - Couch to 5k

Well, found Couch to 5k a while back. Friend was talking about it
which reminded me.

Wife said she wanted to try, so off we went. I was certainly game
to try. getting too close to type II & at 270 lbs, this is enough.

Found this: http://c25k.com/ with nice resources.

I liked these mixes:

not a huge techno fan, but it is good to run & walk to.

Carol thinks she might prefer these:

they are cool, but a bit mellow for me.

ran week 1 today at the small park in Ball Ground.
44F is a bit cold, but we did it. since we just went around the park,
I have no idea how much we covered, and don't really plan to
measure and track it. This park does not even have a loop, so we
just went back and forth. Looking for a better place nearby. I really
don't want to drive all the way to high school...

When I progress to one of the other tracks such as gateway to 8k,
maybe I'll splurge for us and get some running schwag such as Nike
tracking units or something.

check back to see our progress.
