Dumb or not here I go!

I was planning on doing a 5K in June. I am out of shape but figured I could be in shape to do one in June. Well...my sister in law posted about on in Feburary she might be doing. So......I told her if she wanted some encourgament I would do it with her! What was I thinking???!!!! But it is a good excuse to be outside walking and my neighborhood is full of hills. Well I said I wanted to get into shape so here I go!

Good luck! I'm sure you can do it.

I'm really close to signing up for a 5K as well, because it definitely would be good motivation to continue to get in better shape for it. It's my goal in 2014 to do at least a couple races, so I'm currently searching the web for ones in my area that I can sign up for. My ultimate goal is to someday run one of the races in Disney.

We are doing the 5K in Feb too. DH, DS11 and myself will be walking, and DD14 is determined to run. I am hoping for good weather for the event.

Do it! I did my first 5k before I'd even finished my Couch-to-5k program and I did a lot better than I thought I would. Don't be afraid to walk part of the way if that's what your body needs. Good luck!

Thank you everyone! I think I will actually do better than I am thinking. I am walking my neighborhood which is all hills. It is completely flat where the race is! I have no plans to run it. I am walking! I have a show I can finally audition for and I will be super mad at myself if I screw up my knee.

Disney Dreamer: DO IT!!! We can virtually train together. I also plan on doing another one in June.

That's a good idea! It would be a big help to have someone else motivating me and keeping me going. Right now, I'm looking at signing up for a race around Easter.

How far along are you in training? I did the Couch to 5k program back around May-July, and made it all the way through. However after that, since I wasn't actually training for any race, I stopped running for a while. When I tried to start back up, I could never run for as long as I did at the end of that. So I decided to completely restart the whole thing, and just finished Week 1. I can't wait for the weather to get a little warmer around here, because I need to start running outside, since everything I've done has been on a treadmill.

The race is in 7 weeks. Right now my process is really slow going. I live in an area that is basically ALL hills. If I want to walk somewhere that does not have hills I have to drive about 10 minutes down the hill. So hilly training here I come! Its good for endurance! Or so I keep telling myself. I did another stupid thing. I gave up caffeine for the week. My sleep is so bad since my pregnancy, so I am trying to reset my body's clock. Cannot wait till this week is OVER! Happy training!!!!!

I just started training for the castaway cay 5k in February. I am doing back to back cruises and hope to run the 5k on each.
