I really like this program. I totally recommend it over at the app store on iTunes. It is C25K, and it is like 2.99. Awesome!

Here's a peek at all the great accessories I am running with, gotta look good ;)

Walmart/TJMaxx provided the bulk of my running gear:
Danskin at Walmart is comfy and inexpensive, here are a few tops I picked up:


We are talking about $7-$10, with built in sport bras! DEAL! I also picked up a BOMB tie dye running tank, and a few others from TJMaxx at less that $12 each. I already had black and gray shorts, plus capris.

Shoes: 2 pairs of running shoes from Rack Room (BOGO Half Price) for $55.00!

Love those green ones :)

Technology:

Armband for iPhone so I can run the C25k Program.

Headphones:

With microphone in case a phone call HAS to be answered or made. $12 at TJMaxx (they want $40 at the Apple Store)

Pedometer: Dollar Store!

Couch to 5k

I have decided, I need to be more active.

Thus, I have decided to start a 9 week workout that promises, couch to 5k. It is a downloadable app on my iPhone. I am pretty stoked about it. You can check it out here

I went tonight and got a couple of running tanks, I do need some new running shoes. So I suppose I will get those next week with the extended year money I earned :)

Tomorrow I plan to get an armband to hold my iPhone. The one I bought at Walmart tonight is for an iTouch and the headphone hole is in the wrong place... oops.

This is the one I want... pretty huh? It is the Belkin Sport Armband Plus with FastFit for iPhone

So I am hoping to start my new workout on Monday. We'll see how it goes :)

Online Tutorials.

Do you know how many online tutorial there are? There has to be one for almost EVERYTHING.

Look at what I came across today, too bad I didn't find this at the beginning of Spring Break because I really hate these brass door knobs, but alas replacing door knobs cost too much $.
