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?

That is so awesome!!! I have been wanting to sign up for one too so I could have something to work towards. You can TOTALLY do it and it will feel so great and empowering to make it to the finish line! Especially when your little guy is there waiting for his inspirational mama! :)
