    Couch To 5K Update: ’80s (Leg) Explosion

    Here we are again; it’s time to give you my weekly Couch to 5K update. If you didn’t read my first update, you can catch up here. You know what they say about the “best laid plans”, right? (No? Okay, click here.) Don’t worry, I didn’t quit the program. Remember, though, how my plan was to actually do the workout FOUR times per week instead of three, to accelerate my training a bit, and that the fourth day of the week would be a repeat of the day before?

    No? Oh. Must’ve been me. I am cracking myself up this morning and thought I’d share with you. Of course, by setting it up that way I am really hoping that I’m not the only one who finds ME so funny this morning.I had to write a bio for a little (okay, big) side project I am involved with which I am not giving you details on quite yet (but some of you regs may figure it out), and I thought it would be fun to post it here in its current form, in case I have to drastically change the final draft later on. Without further ado: Sadly, Melisa…
