5K? What was I thinking...

Yes, the rumors are true!.. Wait, what rumors? Yes ladies and gents, I've signed up for a 5K this August! OH MY GOSH, what was I thinking? I'll tell you what I was thinking. I am thinking 1) I am 24 years old and I should be able to run 3+miles without hackin' up a lung 2) my friend Erin is super encouraging and convinced me I was a running supa-star at 1am at work so I signed up 3) because it's time to do something for me.

I am mortified. I don't run, I can't run... or can I? Every great person starts somewhere and that is usually at the bottom. So as much as I hate to admit it, I am capable of doing anything I set my mind to, which I guess means I'll be running a 5K this August (and maybe be President one day... hey a girl can dream, right?). Erin (one of my very favorite people ever- she is an amazing human being) helped me put together a running schedule, talked to me about the importance of good footwear, and has me convinced that I will not only be able to run 3miles but that I might actually enjoy it, too!
Here is to hoping, right?
