C25K

I started Couch to 5K this morning. It's a pretty sweet program that Lydia introduced me to. It's basically a 9 week program designed to take someone literally from their couch to being able to run a 5K.

I got some new running shoes for the occasion, as my normal gym shoes aren't that great with support when it comes to running. I tried on three Asics after many recommendations, but found that every single style slid along my heel too much, which would lead to some very serious blisters. Guess I have some odd feet! After asking salespeople in 3 random stores, who all recommended the same shoe, I ended up with the Nike Zoom Vomero 3's, which could possibly be the most comfortable shoes I've ever worn. And they fit like a glove! They were even on sale at the last store, so I saved a cool $25.

I even went with the red and black pair to commemorate my return to the land of Huskers. Though the yellow and black were pretty hot.
