    Hi!
    So happy to join, I know we don't have much left of April, but my goal is to get at least 20 minutes of walking in a day, Mon thru Sat, until I deliver my baby in early June. My siggy only shows what I need to do for April, I think I'll just do a new one every month, since pregnancy gets a little unpredictable as the due date gets closer. :)

    I went walking with the kids in the rain today. Kids LOVED it, and I don't mind, maybe cause I'm originally from Seattle. I love the smell of rain, fresh dirt, wet leaves, mmmm!

    Hey everybody! Glad your all keeping up. I skipped out the last few weeks and didn't check in (bad me...I know). The last week I hurt my ankle again ... :grumble: How am I supposed to keep going if I can't walk on it...darn body.

    But its all healed up, and I did 30 minutes last night. :) Tonight I'll be doing 60 if all goes well.

    Hello Everyone. I am here to check in and to share some good news and some bad news.

    First the bad news .... I am a little embarrassed to tell you about my first 5K race that I was registered for on April 9th. After 8 weeks of doing the Couch Potato to 5K program I was so excited about the race. I knew that I could finish, but not sure of the speed. I was just going to be happy with a finish. Well the day of the race arrived and I was ready with my number on my shirt, my running shoes, and determination to finish. My husband and I go to the race only to find out that it had started 15 minutes before we arrived!!!!!! People were finishing the race within minutes of our arrival. I was disappointed with myself and even mad at myself for not checking the time again the night before the race. We watched the finishers, left for home, and had a long sad ride home. A word of advice always check the start time of a race -- all races do not begin at the same time.

    Now for the GOOD NEWS -- we found a 5K race for the following weekend (April 16) and we registered, checked the start time, and arrived an hour early. I was very nervous about the race but the determination to finish was still inside me. The race began and I was able to run most of the race. I crossed the finish line with a time of 30:58 which I was very proud of. When I checked the leader board I found that I was 2nd in my age group. I am still excited about the 5K that I actually ran and I am looking forward to another someday soon.

    Thank you for listening to my 5K story.

    :smile:

    Here is my latest walking/running activity.
    4/11 - 4 miles
    4/12 -4
    4/13 -5
    4/14-3
    4/15-0
    4/16-7
    4/17-0
    4/18-5

    Happy Walking!

    @jeritaylor - That is so exciting about your first 5K...er...2nd one attended. lol I'm signed up for a half marathon in December...after your story I'm probably going to show up early. lol I'd be so mad if I got there and it had already started! Are you going to do anymore this year?
