Running

As I have said before I am NOT a runner, but I am excited to become one. My sister asked me if I wanted to participate in the woman's run in June, so I got excited and started looking for more.... Yes I am crazy since I am just starting to run. But I did find one that is near and dear to my heart, literally. We will be running in the Alaskan Heart Associations Heart Run. When I lived in Spokane I participated in their Heart Walk, so this seemed to be a perfect fit. We get to choose from either a 3k or a 5k, and I believe we are going for the 5k. I am nervous and excited at the same time. The race is 8 weeks away and my C25k program is 8 weeks, so it's perfect timing. It seems everything is lining up perfectly. Now to find me some good running shoes that won't break the bank! Lol

This morning I did my elliptical work out for 25 minutes. However when I got to the 25 minute mark my distance was at 1.959 miles.... There was NO way I was stopping that close to 2 miles. So I kept on going until it hit 2 miles for distance, which got me 26 minutes! After I dropped little man off at school I came home and did my C25K around my house. Our road is covered with ice and over the weekend when I went out to run, I slipped so for today my house worked just fine.

Happy Hump Day! I am off to find some running shoes and look for birthday party stuff! In the next 4 months I have over 10 birthdays in my family!
