Now that I am becoming one of those Newton Moms Who Do Pilates, I might as well try to get the most of it. I've been told that I need to supplement it with cardio if I want to do that. My friends Stephanie and Dawn have starting running together. I hate missing out on anything, so my goal is to be able to join them.
Since I was once a runner for about 6 months back in 1993, and again for about 6 months in 1999, running has not been a big part of my life. After all, my daughter did describe me as "someone who likes to sit in chairs and do quiet things."
For those of you who don't know, the Couch Potato to 5K is a 9-week plan that does just what its title suggests. So, if I'm the setting goal type (which, I'm not, but hopefully committing it to the blogosphere will help), I should be able to run a 5K by Thanksgiving. Ha! Maybe I'll even sign up for one of those "Turkey Trots" they have all over the place since the country has become to road race focused.
Since my Pilates studio claims that my body will be "transformed" in 30 sessions (28 more to go!), I'm counting on being slim and trim, or "long and lean" as they say in the Pilates world. OK, I will procrastinate no more. I'm heading to the treadmill!
