About this Blog

I started this blog as a record of my journey in learning how to run. I hope my experience can help you too in your mission to get off the couch, start exercising and lose that extra layer.

My posts are honest and personal. I have divided them into three sections that comment on my emotions, the physical run (jog!) and tips for next time to help me improve my performance. I hope you can use these ideas to encourage and help you along in your couch to 5k journey.

Please share your experiences, ideas or questions in the comment section of each post.

About Me

Me...and Why I Started.

I am a 26-year-old girl living on the coast of Australia. I live a typical Australian lifestyle as a beach bum! I work full time as a secondary teacher during the week and enjoy my food and drinks on the weekend.

I have recently put on 10kgs on my regular frame. I have gone up a dress size and do not fit into any of my beautiful summer clothes (including the $$$ bathers that I need to wear to the beach this summer). I cannot afford to buy another wardrobe for the summer months.

And then I saw a photo. A photo where another layer had grown under my face!

So I have to do something!

In addition to that, I have never been a runner. Never a gym goer and never a consistent exerciser - even though I love the outdoors. Yes, this is part of the reason for my weight gain.

So I want to achieve something. I want to be able to run. I want to LEARN how to run.

This seems to be a program that may help me achieve my goals!

Hopefully the next time I do this photo I will be able to wear a bikini!
