Our Running Routine

For those of you who haven't heard yet, Wes and I have started running. We have been doing this for about a month now and it all started after one fateful discussion on a tuesday afternoon. All my life I have been able to eat whatever I want, whenever I want and hardly gain an ounce of weight. I never considered myself to be unhealthy but it did bother me that I had little self control or discipline regarding the food I was eating. As Wes and I discussed the ways in which we could make healthier food choices together (i.e. put one scoop of sugar in our tea verses two, give up butter on our bread, limit mochas and increase the tea during trips to Palios etc.) I made the decision I wanted to pair healthy food choices with a work out plan. The only problem was that I had never in my life succeeded in staying committed to a routine fitness plan. Still, I went online the following day and did some searching for a fitness plan that would help ease myself into the process. I wanted a routine that was geared toward someone like myself, not something so overwhelming and strict that it would add stress to my life. So after one quick trip to thenest.com I found myself a fitness plan that fit me. I presented it to Wes and he too liked it and decided to commit to it with me. Now we have run 3 days a week for about a month now, staying true to the plan and we love it. Most of all I love the feeling of being in control of this area of my life. Some of you have been asking to see the details so I thought I would post it. Let us know if any of you think of trying it out, it's been great for us to do together. I am having troubles posting the actual routine into this post so click below to see our 6 month fitness plan:
