A 5K is 5 kilometers, not 5000 miles

I am putting this in writing. Maybe it will encourage me to follow through.

I am going to run a 5K.

I know this seems pretty impossible to anyone who has ever seen me run, but it's true. I'm in training.

Thank goodness we have a wii fit so I can weigh myself. (Please do not judge my white legs...its been too cold to get a tan.)

John and I have been running at the track across from our apartment for several weeks now. We are slowly building up to a 5K. And I mean very slowly.

I am in mid stretch here...I promise I can touch my toes! I think I need to get a spray tan ASAP.

We just finished our run and John is pooped. I was pooped too but I think I have shared enough embarrasing pictures of myself. I don't need to add a sweaty face picture too.
The goal is to run a 5K race in Dallas with John and my sister...and finish. But my personal goal is to be able to run 3 miles by July 1st. That gives me two whole months. Someone please keep me accountable. I am not very good at sticking to my goals.
