Am I crazy?

I think I may be crazy for deciding to start a Couch to 5k plan in the middle of November...in Canada...when I live in the snow belt...

I used to run long distance competitively in elementary school until I got hit with bronchitis and pneumonia within the same running season in Grade 8. I tried picking it back up in university but I soon discovered that I sort of hated running on a treadmill, and I didn't love running in the city either. Now that I'm outside it, I'm going to try to fall back in love with running again. It won't be easy, but I remember how rewarding a run can feel. I plan to post every week about my progress so I can relate how it's going to anyone out there who's interested. I'm not good at staying accountable to these sorts of things, so I'm hoping blogging about the next few weeks of my life will keep me on track as well as give me something to blog about. Plus, this is on my 101 in 1001 list and I need to get stuff accomplished! I'm looking forward to continually creating a healthier life for myself as the weeks pass by!

Tomorrow I start running...wish me luck!

Let me assure you, I do not look this good when I run
