Run Candy Run

To help with my #1 resolution of this year , I've have decided to become the unthinkable, a runner. Any of my friends know that this is a crazy task on my part. 

This is what my mother thinks I run like:

But only about a quarter of it's speed.

This is what my roommate thinks I run like:

 

This is a bit more accurate.

I found a blog to help newbies train to become runners <Start Running for Beginners>. I plan to start this evening and strictly follow the schedule. I love schedules and plans. If I could I think I could plan out every minute of every day and be a very happy camper. The downside is that I get very irritated if those set plans are obstructed by someone. 

Anyways, here's a look at my work and work-out schedule for Week One. I have incorporated this schedule with my own. 

Sunday~ rest aka work 12 hours open to close, same thing right?

Monday~ work 8 hours and then gym for running schedule and then friend's band performance

Tuesday~ rest aka work 11 hours; 10am-5pm & 5:30pm-9:15pm

Wednesday~ run in the morning (I have to make myself) work 11am-4pm & 5:15pm-9:15pm and then drinks

Thursday~ rest and the first day off in 20 days, shopping, Netflix and Ipanema

Friday~ another day off and the running schedule 

Saturday ~morning Pilates and the day off

Hopefully this will help me take another chunk off the 20 lbs I have left to lose. I might have to invest in some knee braces too. Now I just need to come up with a good running playlist
