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.

I'm not upset at all that you didn't invite me to join in on the run. I'm sure it has to do with my extreme athletic ability.

way to go, friend! I wish you were here so we could train together...and you could tell me to stop eating from my bowl of jellybeans :)
