My first 5k...oh my.

Tuesday, January 22, 2013

So, I signed up for my first 5k today. It is almost exactly 3 months away. I figured that would give me enough time to condition and prepare my body but not enough time to procrastinate. I will start my couch to 5k like program this evening. It will be tough. I work all day and the last thing I want to do at the end of my day is work some more...PLUS it is really cold here in MO these days. I'm not a fan of cold. BUT I shall MAKE myself do this. I WILL get out of the house and walk the recommended starting time and I will do it with gusto! Why? Because I am committed to change, I am committed to success and I am committed to being a healthy example to my children. 5k HERE I COME!

    Good for you! I thought about doing a 5k, but I don't know much about them. The good thing about Missouri weather is it changes a lot. So it may be crummy today and beautiful tomorrow. Stick with it, and I'm sure you'll do great!

    Way to go! I started training for my first 5k at the height of Florida's summer last year. Here's to training during the crummiest weather our respective states have to offer! emoticon
