My sister wanted to start running, but said she needed a buddy to keep her motivated… so she talked me into running with her. Honestly, I was not all that thrilled about it. I am not a runner, I don’t typically enjoy it, and I was lazy…
We are now into our 3rd week of training, and I am shocked! I don’t LOVE it yet, but I don’t hate it – which is great! We are following a plan called Couch-to-5K. There is an app that we downloaded onto our iphones that tells us when to run and when to walk. It slowly builds up your endurance and stamina so that you don’t get burned out and quit.
We both signed up for our very first run – The Run Wild 5K this July. A lot of Joe’s family (that’s really into running) will be in town for his step-brother’s wedding. They will be running it as well, along with some of my family. Run Wild 5K has turned into a family event! I am really looking forward to it! Joe is going to be racing my cousin, Philip, for the 3.1 miles – my goal is just to complete it without walking.
And I will be honest… I am not doing this for my health… I am hoping to get a little toned, and lose about 3-5 lbs. Wish us luck on our new adventure!!!
