I have an older brother that is a "gadget guy" - you know the guys that just like to have lots of gadgets for the heck of it. Well, I think it rubbed off on me growing up, because I LOVE to play with the electronic displays in stores! And, earlier this year I got a fancy iPod Touch and of course downloaded tons of apps on it just for the sake of having them - I am so thankful for free apps!!
Well, anyway, I downloaded this one app that is a "Couch to 5K" training program. Yeah...it's been on there for like 6 months. Well, yesturday I decided it was time to utilize it! And it's actually not so bad.
I added my music to the app and it just goes. It tells you what to do (Run now, walk now) and 30 minutes later, I have gone 2 miles and I'm sweating like a mad woman!!! It's wonderful!
So, I decided that my first goal on this new makeover of sorts is to run a 5K! So, I'm planning on running in the Big Pumpkin Run on Oct. 30th. It's in Roswell and starts at 8:30 am if you care to join me. As soon as I figure out how to add a web link to this thing, I'll add one to the registration page, but for now, you can Google it or Bing it. Whatever you prefer!
OH, and back to the gadgets thing...I ordered my very own piece of fruit (that's for you, Mary!) and I can not wait for it to get here!!
I'll keep you posted!
