W1 D1, DONE!

Ok, so I have returned from the gym, and successfully completed the first workout! I am in a completely different situation from you other two ladies, because I am in an enclosed environment, where people can quite obviously tell that I am no runner. These are some fun facts/problems that I have now observed from my first bout of running:

1) The C25K app for the droid is WEIRD. Apparently it wants you to start it after the first 5 min warm-up, and then will go on endlessly, so you need to pay attention, or you will never end your workout.

2) It is really hard to listen to your own music when there is a very boisturous, Latin-themed "Zumba" class happening like 5 feet away from your treadmill.

3)Quitting smoking the day before starting running is really not enough time for the lungs to properly respond, making running an insanely difficult task (but I was able to run each interval!)

4)Finally, and pardon me for getting a bit graphic, but.... apparently running may act as somewhat of a laxitive. I have heard awful stories about public pooping during marathons, etc, but I never paid too much attention to the direct correlation between the bowels, and running. Thankfully no accidents occurred, but my walk home from the gym was a bit touch and go, LOL!

Now apparently I have to somehow acquire some crazy workout gear, perhaps Alice, we need to schedule a shopping trip sometime in the near future!
