My first 5K!!!

 

I’m so excited!!!! Can you believe it?? Over a year ago, I joined a gym.  I started slow with walking three miles everyday.  Then, I thought….. let’s try jogging. I lived through that believe it or not.  Now, I’m running and it feels great (not really….but I’m trying).  I still haven’t mastered running 3 miles straight.  I secretly have wanted to challenge myself and run a 5K ( I still can’t believe that I’m saying this!!) Everyone knows that I LOVE watching Biggest Loser. It’s the best show EVER!! Watching this show has truly inspired me to get off my butt and try things that I thought I could never do. Michael has been telling (encouraging) me that he knew that I could run a 5K.  I would laugh it off and say “NO WAY!!”.   I would always tell him that I wasn’t ready. But, would I ever be ready for that challenge? One night, I was talking with my good friend, Tiffany, and shared with her that I was kicking around running a 5K. She told me that she had wanted to as well (what a great friend!!). We made a commitment that night to run a 5K together. We started looking for races locally and found this one.  PERFECT!!! Great cause and dear to my heart.  Sharon (MIL), is a breast cancer survivor. It’s a perfect fit!! The race is on May 7th. Tiffany and I have to get busy training.

I found this training plan this morning and thought I would give it a try.  I need help pushing myself to run past two miles without quitting.  I know I can do it!!! Pray for me…..haha!!  Anyone else want to join us?? You can sign up individually or as a team. Any takers??
