Anyone? When is it? what is it? what's your plan to be ready for it (besides finishing hte program)

i want to sign up for one and the Temecula 5k on January 19th seems like my best bet in terms of something local-ish but my boyfriend refuses to even talk about it.

    I am signed up for the Temecula 5k for the 21st of January. I'm 46 years old and not a natural runner. In fact up until this year I hated it. For some reason-now I live for running days.This is my first race and I'm so nervous/excited. I've been training since October but twisted my ankle and took a bad fall right when I started. I had to rehab the ankle by eventually running on the treadmill. I ran outside again for the first time last week and felt great. My running speed surely isn't as fast as some but I keep plodding along. I had the best run of my life last night. I didn't want to stop and actually ran until my shins when numb. I know it sounds weird but it was an awesome feeling.

    That is super cool adriaenne! I wish I loved running - I don't hate it like I used to but I'm basically just pushing myself at this point for the calorie burn and the eventual 30 minutes of straight running, 3 times a week. Not sure the love will happen but I DO love the results.

    ITs funny, my trainer the other day was like "well don't you love running now?" and I was like "I love...eating more?"

    I might sign up for the temecula 5k without my bf. and then make him drive me there.

    Awesome...maybe I will see you there. My husband isn't running with me but will wait at the finish with my daughter. She runs cross country and track for her high school. My husband is in great shape, works out and runs several times a week. I have a friend coming down from Reno to run with me. She ran her first half marathon this (she's 25 yrs younger than me but who's counting). My challenge now is to get some weight off. The key to that is getting back to being regular on MFL and making the commitment.
