Now, since I'm old, I think it's time for me to try something new - like a midlife crisis, if you will. So I've decided to try a program called C25k(http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml ). It's a training program that's meant to take old farts like me off the couch and get them running a 5K in two months. I've never considered myself a runner by any means. Really, I've always thought runners were a little nuts. But I've always envied their get-up-and-go-ness, and I'd like a bit of it for myself (plus, I'm tired of getting beat to the ball in soccer). Something else I found, that I think will be helpful is some music that was recorded to help people on the C25K plan time themselves without looking at a watch (http://www.djsteveboy.com/intervals.html ), since looking at a watch totally psychs me into thinking time has stopped.
Anyhow, I'm starting this plan next Tuesday (9/16). Would anyone like to do it with me?
