Really excited about this...I am going to run a 5K in October (aaaghhh!). Since one of my goals when I left my job was to be more active, I have been going to classes at the Y and have met a lot of really great women. One of them inspired me to actually participate in a 5K, which for all you runners is small potatoes (do I say small potatoes?) but for me is a BIG deal! When I started running a couple months back I could not even make it half a mile without dying and having to stop. I can now run 3 miles fairly easily, so I have changed my goal to running the 3 miles faster and harder. As long as I can stay motivated (some days that is really really hard!!!) then the 5K is definitely doable.
I have another motivating factor, my sister-in-law. Sara is an avid runner who has done several races, including full marathons (why anyone would want to run 26 miles is beyond me) so this is just a little walk in the park for her. SO I have to be in tip top shape so I can hopefully keep up with her (that = beat her, not that it's a competition) It should be fun. Oh, and you get to run into the Drive stadium which was another reason I wanted to sign up, who wouldn't want to feel like a champ being cheered on into a stadium??
