It's about time...

Since I've discovered the wonderful addiction that is Facebook, and subsequently FarmTown, I have not entered a blog. Boo to me. Oh well.

So, as I was watching the runners come in at the Point (July 4 5K) I said, "I could do this." And so I shall. It won't be easy, but it won't be impossible either. First of all, now that I've 'done quit', I'll be breathing better and better all the time. And secondly, it's a 5K, not a marathon. Even if I had to walk 1/2 way, I could still do it in an hour or less. And I'm hoping not to walk at all.

Not looking to win, or place. Looking to complete the race. - And getting some nice calves in the process would be a bonus :)

What I don't know is how to train. I've started with walking 2 miles 3x a week. That's really something since it's been years since I've walked for fitness. Too many years.

I figure I'll walk for a few more weeks and then I'll start a slooooooow jog. And hope that I can hold my pee. Otherwise I'll just walk more miles until I address that fun little problem.

So far so good - tomorrow is the end of week 2. :) Yay to me!
