I'm excited! I say "official" because I have done 5ks as part of triathlons, but after the swim and bike, the run was much much more walking than running. And those were before i lost weight. It's just a local race with the entry fees being canned food for the food bank. :) my oldest ds -a cross country runner on the high school team- is running it with me.....errrr rather- running far ahead of me. And my youngest is going to do the kids mile race. Yeah!! Hoping to get right around 30 minutes- which isn't fast- but it will be fast for me. Gearing up for a half in June!
