well, hello there…
Welcome to Runs With Pugs. My name is Jenn and this is the story of how a husband and wife started running together with Couch 2 5K. I will share the ups and downs of our training for a half and a full marathon, as well as other little peeks into our lives. Oh. We have pugs, too. Thank you for joining us! We're glad to have you along for the ride!-

couch 2 5k: week 9, day 2 {5.6.2013}
One. More. Session. Eeek! It’s probably been a little longer than nine weeks, technically, but in the next day or two, I am going to be an honest to goodness graduate of Couch 2 5K. I am not exactly running … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 9, day 1 {4.28.2013}
Sometimes, it’s not about the numbers. The last day of Week 8 was miserable. I hurt, my feet were uncomfortable, I was winded and had a hard time breathing. Despite all the issues, I had my best pace and distance, … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 8, day 3 {4.25.2013}
You would think, after more than 30 years, I would have mastered the art of tying shoelaces. You would think. But alas, this run was plagued with issues because of the simple fact that I could not get my laces … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 7, day 3 {4.14.2013}

I was pretty excited to hit the streets to test drive my new Mizuno Wave Inspires. Oh, and socks. Can’t forget the socks. I headed out around 9:30 and it was already pretty hot. I would guesstimate high 80s. I’ll … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 7, day 1 {4.9.2013} & thoughts on the journey
And here we are. We have reached the point of our journey where there are no more intervals. There is just running. I guess we could pretty much call it the point of no return. I can’t believe I made … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 6, day 3 {4.7.2013}
I cannot believe Couch 2 5K will be over in three weeks! It seems like just yesterday I was rolling my eyes at having to run for one minute. And on the last day of Week 6, I ran for … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 6, day 2 {4.3.2013} & happy 50 mile-versary
I’ll be playing a bit of catch up this week, but by Friday, we should be back on track here on the blog. In real time, however, I would like to take a moment to point out that, since I … Continue reading
couch 2 5k: week 5, day 3 {3.29.2013}.
This was it. My first long run. Twenty minutes, straight. No stopping. I was simultaneously excited and afraid. And nervous. Very, very nervous. It was 39 degrees out, so freezing by my standards. However, the sun was shining and my … Continue reading
