From Couch to 5K...

Well, I officially start training tonight for my first 5K race. As most of you know, my little sister is an avid runner and has participated in a ton of races. I have gone to a couple to help show support. At one of them I made a deal with her that I would run at least one 5k this summer. I figured it would be a good way for me to get in better shape, and since I am 30 now, I really need to work on maintaining my girlish figure. For those of you who know me, know I have NEVER been a runner. However, I figure there's a first time for everything, right!? I am pretty excited about it, but of course my attitude may change after actually doing it. As of right now, I am going to remain positive and have an open mind. I'm very happy that I do have my sister helping me because I know she will push me to give it my all. And who knows, by this time next year I may be training for more 5k's or even a 10K. Or maybe I will be back to just watching on the sidelines... only time will tell :)
