running, revisited

Inspired by the fact that my foot no longer hurts, and it's only 72 degrees outside at this very moment after one of the hottest Septembers in my recent memory, I'm thinking that I'm going to redo the Couch-to-5k plan this fall.

One of my goals this year was to run a 5k, and since I'm probably not going to make the "bike a century" goal (though I will be close!), I'd like to accomplish this one. If I started the 9-week program next week, I'd be done by December. I know I can find a 5k race somewhere around here in December (maybe this one?). Even if I can't, I can run 5k distances on my own until 1/15, when there's a 5k race scheduled with the Houston Marathon. OR if I want to bump up the schedule a bit, I could do this one on Thanksgiving (it also has the advantage of being very close to home).

So yeah. Running. I'm going to start doing that again. I'm doing my first week 1 walk/run in about an hour.

UPDATE: Upon further review, that Thanksgiving race is 5 miles, not 5 km. Looks like 12/3 is the most doable 5k, which actually works out well for me. If I start the C25K now, I'll complete it on 12/2.
