5K

At first, I wasn't sure if I should mention it here, but here goes nothing. In September, I'm running a 5K to help the local Humane society. It's called Paws for the Cause. I've told very few people and I know the people that I have told, I've said it a million times. I'm very nervous but I just felt I needed to do something I've never done before. I'm not talking about first place here. I'm just talking about jogging at a snail's pace. You know what they say "you gotta crawl before you walk".

For a few weeks, I talked myself out of it. But then a co-worker asked me if I was still running it and I was just like "ehh". She said she wanted to participate. So we both just agreed to do it together!!! A few days later, I got an e-mail from somebody from this race. I forgot that I set up a profile & a picture of me with my dogs. So after I got this e-mail, I was like "ok, it's a sign you need to do it". A few days a week, my co-worker & I are going to run after work. The other days of the week, we're on our own. We started yesterday and probably jogged 23-30% of the entire 3 miles. You might think that's lame, but for the first session, that isn't half bad. Today, we figured out a pattern that would work for both of us and we'll see what happens on Thursday. So as of now, I'm thinking "RUN FOREST RUN" as I jog. It's not a pretty run, but I'm not marathon or athlete so deal with it.
