5K Training

Well... 2 weeks and 6 days away from the Miles for Missions 5K! Training is progressing! We went training on the elliptical yesterday, for a change of pace... It was nice :) I think Kinsey and I are becoming addicted!

I have also been cooking... 4 days in a row! I also attempted making brownies from scratch for the first time, except my first attempt turned out too dry, so I found a new recipe and started again. They turned out delicious! :) I have also been making pigs in a blanket... and eating them like crazy! :) Needless to say, my roommates like me :) (as well as anyone else who comes over to our house!)

5K Training

Yesterday I started training for the Miles for Missions 5K.

(I was supposed to start Monday, but I was sick)

I have found this little park that's super close to our house, and not very busy...

So yesterday I ventured out to start my training program (C25K)

I wish so much that I could lie and say it was easy... but it wasn't.

I only did a mile. And that was rough. Really rough.

I got back to my car, out of breath, my legs were numb, and my asthma started acting up.

I wasn't sure that I would be able to do this.

But...

This morning, I woke up (at 5:55 AM!, before my alarm, it was a miracle), got dressed, and strapped on my tennis shoes.

Kinsey and I went to interval train at the park. We went a mile.

And you know what?

It was easier. I wasn't so out of breath, my legs weren't numb, and I didn't almost black out!

I proved something to myself. I CAN do it. I WILL do it. I WILL NOT give up!

Dream the impossible!

5K

I am going to run a 5K.

I have decided I am going to train, and I am going to run (ok, probably walk alot) a 5K at the end of this month.

I haven't ran in about a year and a half.

I have actually been meaning to get back into running for a while now, and this is the perfect time!

It's for Miles for Missions.

It's a great cause.

I am recruiting my best friend, my mom, my sister and my niece.

This should be very interesting!
