Run in a 5k

I am a really slow runner. I know this. I walk about as fast as I run! I’ve walked a few 5ks and have walk/jogged a few. I’d like to run/jog one…just one…with out stopping to walk. Need to take a look around and see what might be available to sign up for in the spring. A motivational tool.

I walked a 5k this past weekend! It wasn’t too bad and I finished in a little over an hour. I thought my pregnant body would have more of a revolt in store but it didn’t work out that way, thankfully! I’m making plans for how best to get backinto the running shoes after junior is here!

I have no idea! I think I’m going to ask my brother-in-law’s fiancee if she has any interest. I just found out that she runs!

I will definitly sign up for the 4 mile run on March 11th!

There’s a run on March 11th…it’s not a 5k. It is a 4 mile. Should I go ahead and sign up for this? There’s a 5k the week before…but I usually schedule my March of Dimes fund raiser for March 4th.

There’s also a 5K February 11th. I just don’t know if I’ll be ready to run outside. The treadmill keeps my pace for me so I’m having some difficulty there! The February 5k is a charity run and so I would need to pay or collect pledges of $75.

So, any ideas?

I’ve decided I need to select an event to “train” for. I use that term loosely because I’m not out to win any records…I just want to run the entire thing start to finish!

I’ve kinda done this…if you get technical! I have done the Susan Komen Race for the Cure and Abby’s Run for the Heart…BUT I didn’t run the entire thing! I did a jog/run/walk thing.

I’m working on it for next spring!
