5K in May

I started my Tae Bo in November. YES, it has helped. It is a great way to get up and get moving. Very motivating and I'll keep on doing it. However, I was wanting something MORE. A friend of mine runs a lot and is training for a 5K in March.

I thought about running but I have never been a runner. I don't like how my thighs hit together. I don't like how my chest/neck/lungs feel when I run. But I have been thinking maybe I wanted to run in something. Since I had no information I didn't really give that idea any consideration.

TODAY my SIL sent me an e-mail. She is a teacher at Dublin Scioto H.S. and there will be a 5K walk/run in May to benefit the fund for 2 students killed in a car accident in November. Hmmm.... can I do it?? I don't know. I hate running. I will probably only make it 1 MINUTE before passing out. I don't know. But I really want to. But I don't think I can. :(

I got online, found a plan (Couch to 5K) and started TODAY. I AM going to do it. I CAN do it. The Lord will help me. I will fill my heart with His words and He will give me the strength to do it. And when I cross that finish line I will give Him the glory. I can't do it on my own but with Him I can do anything.

Anyone feeling like they want to join me??

Maybe I should join you? I need to do something.

Good for you, Amy! I've thought it could be good to train for a 5k, but I would walk, not run.

You can do it! What an accomplishment it will be. If I wasn't pregnant, I'd consider it. It would be a neat goal to work towards.
