Training Has STARTED!!!

So day 1 of training - a nice ease into the 18 week program. Just some light cross training today. Tomorrow - I'm going to run a 5K as hard as I can and time it on the treadmill. This will set a starting point and make it incredibly easy to compare over the next few months. If you are really serious - you may think about starting a running journal or blog. It's a great way to keep track of your improvement over the duration of this journey. Plus, if you keep track of different times you have during the program - you'll feel even better when you see your time dropping.
If Aaron (chief meteorologist) doesn't get stuck in Chicago from the blizzard, I'm also going to go to my first CrossFit class at 5:30pm - to be honest, I'm a little scared. I'll post details if I don't have to fill in for weather tomorrow, otherwise my first class will be on Thursday with Krystle and Cody as well.
Don't burn yourself out too much in the beginning - if you train too hard at first you could overuse your muscles and it's a long recovery road after that, so ease into training - don't do more than your body can handle!
