5K Run?

One of my goals for awhile has been to run a 5K. I have always been on the sidelines cheering someone else on, usually Keith, but wished that I could do what they do. It's inspirational to watch. I have never been much of a runner. I guess it just doesn't come natural to me. Now that I am not busy having kids and am able to train for it, I have decided to try my first 5K this year. I have no idea how far I can run because I work out on the elliptical. I am anxious for a little warmer weather so I can get outside and see what I can do. My workouts haven't been as regular as I would like. As much as I enjoy watching Glenn Beck while I work out, he still doesn't seem to be motivation enough for me to get up early after I have been up with one or two kids during the night. It's amazing what a full nights sleep can do for a person! :) Fortunately, they do sleep through the night more often than not (I think).

One morning in early January when I was working out, John came into the room and asked me how much weight I had lost since I started working out last year. I told him I didn't know, but would weigh myself to find out. Well I had actually gained two pounds. I guess that is not surprising given all the food that I ate over the holidays. I know I ate way too much. I am happy to say though that I have since lost the two pounds. Now I am back trying to lose that last five pounds that I wanted to lose in the first place. I did finally give in and buy a new pair of jeans, so I now have two that fit. Yay!!! :)

Wish me luck in my 5K endeavors!
