Couch Potato To 5K

It’s true!  Am queen of the couch potatoes.  Other couch potatoes look to me for inspiration.  Have even started to look like potato except for my rear which is starting to look like a couch, couch potato status confirmed!

Have decided that have three options;

1.  Buy whole new wardrobe (current economic status rules this one out)

2.  Continue to look like a couch and get re-upholstered (upholstery fabric can be pricey though)

3.  Do something about it!

Well options 1 and 2 have definite merit but are ruled out as would have to have funds available so am going to take option 3 and go for diet and fitness.  NHS has very kindly written a program available on podcast just for me.  Am grateful but skeptical.  Couch Potato to 5K in 9 weeks.  Do they know what they are saying? Laura (my very own personal trainer on podcast) thinks am going to be able to run 5k or 30 minutes in only 9 weeks.  This program may have just met it’s match!!!!

Am feeling incredibly generous today so if anyone else wants to try program themselves, am posting a link here!  :0)
