Okay, so I started my training today for the 5/3 River Bank Run! Shut your jaw......I'm only doing the 5K! With that being said; I already want to quit. I stink at running and after baby number 3 well I think it's about impossible to get this old body back into shape.
When I told my sister I was going to start training for the 5K, she asked do you really need to train?! I laughed! Of course it is me , Courtney...need I say more? So today as I started off on this horrendous adventure I decided that my sisters comment wasn't only funny, but hilarious!
I think I made it about 1/2 mile, then walked 1/4 mile, and finished running the last 1/4 mile; all the while (foolishly) trying not only to keep myself going, but also my 100lb. stupid dog! He's veering off the sidewalk smelling things, lunging forward (with me) attacking other dogs. I'm sure I was a sight to see.
Anyways, I'm still in it. I haven't quit (yet). I need encouragement! But I'm not going to lie...it was BRUTAL!!!!

Hey Courtney - cute blog! I used to have one, but could not keep up on it enough to do it justice. And I could never figure out how to do all the cute backgrounds, add music, etc. Yours looks great!

ReplyDeleteHey Court...I am sooo proud of you....just today I was talking to the girls at work about the 5K...every time it comes up...I feel challenged to do it again....Some one said "you mean in your mind?"...And I thought...no...in my heart!....You have my support....and if you ever need a running partner....I'm there!
