Well, this will truly hold me accountable. I just started training for a 5K. I've been doing a program Body for Life for sooooo long and was getting bored of it and haven't been too happy with myself for a few months. I decided I needed a workout overhaul, somewhere to focus my attention in a different direction. So I decided on a 5k, not a marathon, a 5k. I know it's only 3.2 miles and that's not horribly difficult, but it's just my start. After the 5k, I'll progress to a 10k, though I dont' see myself ever doing a marathon, who knows. If I end up loving it, I just might.
My race will be June 7th, on the beach. I am nervous already, I need to improve my speed drastically. If any of you have ideas please let me know.
And Blanding buddies, if anyone knows of a race during the first part of August, in that area will you please let me know. I would love to run something while I'm home in Utah. And maybe you could all join me!!! That would make it a lot more fun.
