Here I Go!

Well, I guess if you blog it it must be true.

This morning I started "training" for the Komen 5K in October. Well, as much as you can train for the non competitive 5k. I haven't registered yet, because I need to check my school calendar and it's well...at school. I am going to do it. Mark my word.

I told myself I was going to do this two years ago, then last year, and well, I've never done it. I want to do it for various reasons. Training for it gives me a goal to work towards. A 5K isn't a half marathon or anything, it's an achievable goal. Erin's wedding is the next month and hopefully I will lose a little more weight/tone up for this wedding. I've had a good friend go through breast cancer and come out a survivor.

I found a website about how to train for a 5K called "from the Couch to the 5K" training regimen. It makes sense. It sucked this morning though. It showed me how out of shape I actually am. You walk for 5 minutes then alternate jogging for 60 seconds and walking for 90 seconds for the next 20 minutes. In one way it's not that bad, in others, that 60 seconds sucks. Really sucks.

Oh well. Wish me luck...I will need it!!
