My New Favorite Gadget

My friend Dawn and I have been walking together for a couple weeks and finally last week we started jogging.  She had used a program before for beginners to work up to running a 5k and since it had been awhile since she'd been running she was okay with starting over on the program with me. The first time we went jogging we used a kitchen timer, but then I found this awesome interval timer online, so I bought it right away.  I tried it once without reading the directions and it worked okay, but then I read the directions and the next time we went jogging it worked great! It's small and light and clips easily onto your clothes, it times one or two intervals for as many rounds as you'd like.  I've never considered myself a runner, I tell myself I would like to enjoy it, but have never spent enough time building up my endurance.  Yesterday was our third time doing the intervals and I'm happy to say it felt a little easier.  I do say that with a grain of salt, because on Wednesday we have to increase our jogging time.  I don't know that I'll ever want to run a 5k, but I hope to be able to finish the program with Dawn and be in better shape and maybe a couple pounds lighter!
