5K

Yesterday I began my 5K walking regiment. It was pouring down rain, freezing and windy. Larry and I went to the H.S. track and started walking...tried my feet and knees on a bit of a jog now and then...froze my butt off...and reminisced about the glory days of running...and dreamed of the days ahead and made goals of running a 5K...then a 1/2...then a full marathon one day...With soaked tenni's, red face, frozen toes and fingers we drove home feeling a great accomplishment...i'm praying for no rain on today's walk!
My goal is to start out walking and begin running...i'll update this post regularly. I plan to walk/run my way to a new healthy me! Please pray I can stick to it! That's the hardest part! I feel like i'm pretty driven right now and i'm feeling pretty good about it. I have a great team of people who believe in me and a husband who said he will not run it until I can! That's pretty nice! (he will probably run on his own at a different time) When it's not raining we'll take the kids and they can run. They love running and are pretty good at it. If I can get that bug into them now, maybe they will continue on and not have to struggle with weight when they grow up. I am excited about this time and look forward to seeing changes happen!
