One of the concerns I had about working from home was weight gain. In order to combat this I’ve taken up a running routine. I’m using the Cool Running Couch-to-5K Program, and I’m now in week 7, so I’m doing pretty well. I haven’t really lost any weight, but I haven’t gained any either. I like to think that I’m “moving the weight around” and gaining more muscle in the process.

Really, it is just a nice excuse to get out of the apartment and enjoy some of the outdoors. We have a bike path very close to our house, so I don’t have to really cross many major roads or deal with traffic on my run which is nice.

So far we are liking our spot in West Somerville, MA a lot.
