5K Training

May 17th 2012

I finally pulled these babies out of the basket and started using them.

Collin and I made a goal to exercise this year... and then 3 months passed with no improvement.

So, when some of my friends did a 15K and did well... I started thinking maybe it's time to try something new and see how it goes??

Now don't get me wrong, I had no visions of grandeur here.

I have never been a runner... 

I'll admit that I lied on my mile every time during high school.

I should have been the one running with the 'big kid' that takes 10 minutes longer than everyone else.

But, alas, I didn't. Thus, the confession above.

Anywho.

8 weeks ago I started training with a specific goal in mind.

3.13 miles in 30 minutes.

(my friends tell me that's about average and a good time)

I am getting closer to that goal everyday.. and next saturday is the the 5K!

I am loving having a goal to look forward to!

It is motivating, it is exciting, it will be fun to be able to do it, and then move up to a 10K.

All in all, I'm really enjoying training for this.

I'm hoping with some more time I'll see the changes in my body that I want, 

but for now I just feel better.. and that's a great start!

P.S. Today I did 3 miles in 31 minutes and 6 seconds.

So you see.. I really am getting close to being able to achieve my goal.

Wish me luck!
