Hi All!
So I'm not even sure anyone will ready this, but I need something to keep me going as I train for a 5K. That's right, only a 5K. Not a marathon, not even a half marathon, just my first 5K.
To start with, I have never, ever been a runner. Even when I was extremely active in sports I was always the last to finish the warm up jog - if I was able to finish at all. I can walk for a long time, I can play volleyball and bike, but I can barely run.
My goal is to be able to go to Disney World in May for the Expedition Everest Challenge! It sounds like so much fun for me, and since I will have just turned 30, I really need to stay in shape. I want to feel good and not "plan" to start working out.
A few years ago I was in the best shape of my life, then grad school hit and the work outs stopped. Ever since then I have had excuse after excuse - but no more! I'm naturally tall and thin, but that doesn't mean I'm in shape!
So while this is my journey to running a 5K, I'm more than happy to have people post about their challenges and see how we do!
