c25k fail

apparently, the mall frowns upon people running/jogging there. i guess it's a liability issue. so now i'm trying to find another place that we can jog indoors. i think i'm going to have to join a gym....i don't have room in my house for a treadmill or something like that, and i don't have the money to buy a decent one anyway.

i kind of don't want to join a gym. when i have in the past, the times i'm most likely to go seem to end up being their busy time. and i really want to RUN....but i'm self conscious about all the noise i make running on a treadmill. and while the idea of "someone seeing me" work out - which i know is a big issue for a lot of overweight folks - doesn't really bother me, the idea of a whole bunch of someones does. and if i have to wait for a machine to be free, i lose momentum and usually end up cutting my work-out short. which doesn't help anything.

i'm seriously leaning towards continuing to walk at the mall like three days a week and then trying to c25k program again in the spring. i mean, there's the track at the civic center that's a full mile - and it's really a pretty nice, central location. it'll be awesome when the weather is nice. and, according to route builder the "block" i live on is half a mile around, so it could be an alright place to do my workouts when my partners in crime aren't up for it. i think i'm going to start walking outside some when the weather is half-way decent now.

i need to do something to keep from gaining all winter.
