After taking up jogging as a hobby 2.5 years ago and reading all about other people who've participated in 5K, 10K, half marathons and marathons and wishing I had the guts....
I registered for my first 5K race last night
It will be on July 11 - no backing out now that it's already paid for and I told my 11 year old I'd be doing it, right??!!
Day one of "training" was tonight. I jog/walked (a very hilly) 5K in 44 minutes... the plan is to get that down to 35 or less by race day! :happy:
Anyway, I needed SOMETHING for motivation and to try to get me back on track, so this is it! I'm super nervous yet kinda excited at the same time.... Wish me luck!

I was considering doing something like this as well. My husband and I were actually hoping to do a half marathon where you are allowed to run/jog/walk, but maybe a 5K is the perfect start!0

I just did my very first 5k last Saturday, it was awesome! I met my goal time of 35 minutes and I'm ready to do another one! Good luck!0
