Couch to 5K 2: Electric Boogaloo

Earlier this year, I laid off doing the Couch to 5K program for a while, but with the weather so nice, I was ready to start back up. After a week or so of walking 2 1/2 miles a day, I gave it a go today. I’m not dead, so that’s good! I am, however, as red as always. I’ve written about this before. It’s strictly a cosmetic issue, as near as I can tell.

I think from now on, I’m not going to use beats per minute as an indicator of how good a workout is. I’m going to use a color scale, like dentists do when bleaching your teeth. Today: strawberry syrup. Good workout!

Having my skin turn this red is probably bad for my complexion, but then, dying of health problems related to obesity would probably be even worse for it, so I can deal.

Flickr now allows uploading of video, so let’s try it out and see how it works. Is it visible?

This is my husband and daughter last night. Darling, this is not what they mean by “winding down for bedtime.”

    Looks a lot like how my husband helps D “relax” for bedtime. 🙂

    Oh good! I am glad I am not the only one. I could be swimming inside in a cool pool and still be bright freaking red.

    Man, they musta fixed my camera better than I thought!

    Thanks – although I’m actually exactly the same weight I was when I *stopped* doing the couch to 5K earlier this year. Red must be my color.

    Hmm… Maybe I should wear more baseball caps.
