It is Official!

I just registered for my first 5K! June 20th I will be running the Sharon Timlin Memorial 5K Race for ALS.

Wish me luck! I started running about a month ago. I am getting better each time. I am still not up to a 5K, but with 7 weeks to go, I think I can do it!

Running

I got the great idea of telling someone I would run with them in a 5K race. Yes, I had several martini's in me when I agreed. She is still holding me to it!

The problem?

I don't run and I am out of shape.

The race is in June. *sigh* I guess it is a great goal for me to reach for.

I started the other day. Sam came with me. Thank god. I was trying to get my butt up a hill and she yelled "Come on! You are lucky I came with you, now get up the hill!" So nice when your 15 year old is coaching you to move!

We walked, ran, walked, ran. It was the only way I could do it. I just came back from another run. I did slightly better today. I did put some fun music on my iPod to get me through it. It worked!

I am determined to do it! I know I can. I just need to get over the first few hurdles of pain.
Hopefully I will have a smaller booty by June too! WAHOO!
