5k.....hopefully

My sister-in-law, Katie, and I have been saying we should do a 5K since I got engaged. That was 3 years ago and we have yet to do one. Well that all changes for me this year....hopefully. The Ogden marathon ends right outside the doors of my work. So my work, The Imaging Depot, has offered to pay it's employees entrance fee for whichever part of the race we want to do. A couple of us decided to do the 5k. I don't believe Katie will be joining me, but Katie, start training with me and we'll do one this summer! Training was supposed to start today...........better luck tomorrow?! I've never been a runner, but 3.1 miles can't be that bad right? Here's to getting in shape and running in my first official event ever, and hoping it won't be my last. Katie, and all the other 3 of you that read this blog will be the ones holding me to it. Updates on my progress to follow. UPDATE: Shawn saw me typing this up and asked if he gets to do it with me, of course! So I signed him up as well. We'll keep each other on track.

Yay!I'm totally glad you blamed it all on me, too. Here's my plan: I'm going to try to train for the 5k and be ready by your 5k, but May is just so busy that I don't think that I will have time to do the Ogden 5k. Great post! I love reading your updates!

it's kinda funny - i've run a 10k the last two years, and am doing it again this summer, but for some reason, the thought of running this 5k in a week and a half scares the crap outta me. what?? i'm sure it'll be awesome :)

Good luck! I have always wanted to do a 5k and you are my motivation to stop thinking about it and sign up for one!

Oh my heck--I am not a runner and my goal forever has been to run a 5k! We just signed up for one last week...but I haven't started training yet either! We can keep each other motivated! 3 miles can't be that bad, right?!
