Couch to 5K run!

Last Friday I started a couch to 5K jogging program. It is a 9 week program and each week gets harder. The first week starts with jogging 60 seconds then walking 90 seconds for a total of 20 minutes three times a week. I ran with a partner on Friday and I felt great that day and the next day. The next run my partner went on vacation so it was just me jogging. During one of my jogging minutes I decided to sprint to see how fast I could run. I surprised myself!
First let me state- I HATE running! I have never liked it. During the last 6 months losing weight, I have been on the treadmill less than 5 times! Seriously!
At the beginning of the 6 months I tried to jog but it hurt and I hated it. Now that I am almost 45 pounds lighter I can run and not feel like dying.
Back to my sprint- sorry tangents happen a lot- SO I took off running to see how fast I could go. I was listening to my Ipod and completely zoned out. At the end of my sprint I started to slow down and then a bike zoomed right by me. Oh my gosh! I almost had a heart attack! My heart was already racing and then to scare the crap out of was terrible!!
So the next day I woke up and my shoulder blades and thighs were so sore! It took me a while to realize why my shoulder blades were sore- its a weird spot! My guess is moving my arms so fast that they got sore.
So run three- I set out to go again- but I wasn't alone this time... Haha my good ole friend Ditzy Katie decided to come with me.
So we took off on our walk together.... While jogging I got to my half point to turn around and I tripped and fell on the path. The path has small hills and lots of roots coming up through the asphalt. I skinned my knee pretty bad and had to find a spot to sit down and wait for it to stop hurting. I don't carry my phone while running because I have nowhere to put it. I was right in front of the police station when I fell, but how weird would it be to have the police drive me home because I got a boo boo?
Anyway, my skinned knee is about the size of a half dollar and it hurts like the dickens! I don't think I want to work out this week. And besides I have the really large band aid on it so the kids wont touch it.
I am really bummed it hurts so bad so I can't run tomorrow morning.


Oh, that 5K training program that I am doing can be found at http://c25k.com/
And another thing- I am DEFINITELY going to run on a different path that doesn't try to kill me!
