Couch to 5k Starting the Plan.

In the world of planning and goal setting the rule of thumb is to set SMART Goals. Well with this plan i can do exactly that. I used to run quite a bit in high school when my cousin Eran lived with my family and I rather enjoyed it. Now as an adult I figure its time to hit the road again with a pair of shoes and start shrinking around the middle.

So Lets spell my goals out in terms of being SMART
S = be Specific- I will be able to run a 5k in 9 weeks.

M = Measurable- This will be measure by the use of my blog as well as by having a plan that is broken down into measurable chunks.

A = Attainable - So this goal is attainable because of my being in good health. I check with a physician this week before I decided to start this plan and well she said it was a great idea. She also thinks this is a great way to get my wait loss completed. Its also an attainable because it is broken down with an easy time line to follow and plans that are basic for people who are beginning runners.

R = Realistic - This is realistic according to the doctor because I'm not trying to run a marathon in 9 weeks its a smaller amount that should be easier to follow.

T = Timely - With a set timeline for work outs as well as a clear goal and a race set.

So we've got some awesome goals set and My friend Lizzy and I are on the road to getting thin and fit together! Keep posted for details.
