Last week, pretty much out of no where, I decided I wanted to run a 5k.... my very first. I just started googling, found a 7 week training plan and a 5k race on April 21st, and instead of sitting around and "thinking about it" for several days (I knew I would talk myself out of it), I went ahead and signed myself (and Eric) up. Nothing gets me moving like a deadline! I knew I needed to get a double jogging stroller to be able to train with the kids in tow, so I did. We took it out a few times this weekend, and both Carter and Ella really enjoy riding along.

Yesterday was my first official day on the program, and I survived! I'm definitely sore today, and more tired than usual, but I know that will only last a few days. Before I know it, I'm sure I'll see progress with my stamina, endurance, and overall fitness. I have never been a runner..... ever, so I'm not exactly sure what got into me to make me decide I wanted to do this. It's a little scary, because I don't actually know if I CAN do this, but I'm just going to take it and run with it. Pun intended. Anyway, the next 7 weeks should be interesting! I'll keep you posted on my progress! And if any of you runners out there have any advise for me, I'd love to hear!
Good for you!! You give me motivation :)
