Couch-to-5K: Day 15
Author: Shane
I completed day 15 of the Couch to 5K running plan last night. The instructions for day 15 are
Brisk five-minute warmup walk, then jog two miles (or 20 minutes) with no walking.
No problem, mostly. The first five minutes was the toughest—I think the knowledge that I was just starting out and that I had “so far” to go played into this though.
To give myself incentive to finish the Couch to 5K plan, I’ve entered the 2007 Race for the Cure® - 5K Run September 22nd. Anyone wishing to make a donation may do so here.

I weighed 202 lbs. this morning. This is down from between 220-225 lbs. (I’m not really sure where I started). I have to attribute most of the weight lost to exercise and cutting out soft drinks. Summer does a great job of consistently preparing healthy meals, and I have attempted to eat healthier…but I haven’t been religious about it. My goal at this point is to reach 190 lbs. At that point I’ll be able to wear some clothes that haven’t fit in a few years (I wonder if they’re still in style). I’m already able to wear t-shirts that are size large, and my jeans are fitting pretty loosely.
