Couch to 5k & a Future OOTD

I have really been wanting to challenge myself to run a 5k for the last few months. I hate hate hate running and can't do it for very long at all but hey, that is why they call it a challenge, right? When I heard about Couch-to-5k I was immediately interested and looked it up. I read a lot of great reviews on various sites including some from my nesties. I convinced my best friend to try it with me and today was day one.

I didn't realize just how out of shape I am. It was hard but it also felt good. The first 5k that we are going to participate in is in June. I have a long way to go before I am ready for that. This is something that I really want to do and I'm looking forward to continuing this challenge!

What is a challenge or goal that you are working towards? This doesn't have to be fitness related at all, just any goal you may have.


Now for the fun stuff! I have decided to do my very first OOTD tomorrow. I normally don't do these because what I wear is usually pretty basic and not internet worthy so this is going to be a change. I am mainly doing it because I want opinions on a dress I bought today from Kohls.
This is their Striped Maxi Dress.

I have never had a maxi dress before and don't really know how it will look on me.. It is worth a try though because it is super soft and comfortable.
I found some other really cute pieces that I fully intend on going back to get in the next few weeks but they don't have them online yet.

Anyway, get ready for my OOTD tomorrow! Whoot whoot! 
Happy Friday,
K

My challenge is sticking to a clothing and beauty product budget! I am getting creative with it, which should also make my blog interesting!

I've always wanted to do a 5K. I printed out the couch to 5K program too a few months ago, but that's as far as I got with it! LOL.
Good luck!!!

I started running in December and now I can run for 45 minutes. The farthest I have ran is 4 miles but it does build over time. Once you start it does feel good. The Nike + app for the iPhone/iPod is really motivating. Good luck!!!
