Training for a 5K

As you now know I want to run in a 5K.

I have already started training.

I am not a runner by any stretch of the imagination. In High School I use to get yelled at all the time by my gym teacher for not running. I hate running!!! But I am trying to get over it. I must have some kind of running skills in my genes because in High School both of my brothers ran in track. They were good too!!!

I admire people who go running. They look kind of happy. I wonder is that their runners high I hear so much about.

Anyway, the kids and I started going to East Stroudsburg University to run on their track. Our development doesn't have side walks and I need to be able to run with the kids. So we go to ESU to run and we have fun. The kids are my biggest cheerleaders!!!

I told them that I plan on running in a race and they are so excited and asked if they could run too.

I told them if they want to run they can run. We have decided to make it a family run.

We will be running in the YMCA Freedom Festival 5K on July 4th at 9:00 am.

I am not looking to place just do something out of my comfort zone!!!!

I'll keep you posted on my progress!!!!!
