That's the day!! My first 5K!! I am hoping by saying it to all of my WISH friends it will help keep me committed to this goal. I have started the Couch to 5K program at Month 2 - thanks so much for posting the link to that Denise!! It sounds like such a great program and the rest days will keep me from getting burned out as I usually do when attempting something like this! Today was my 2nd day - so far so good! So the Jingle Bell Run/Walk for Arthritis was my first ever 2 mile walk last year and this year it will be my first ever 5K!

Hey neighbor!

I just started the Couch to 5k program on Monday and I'm thinking of doing the 5K Jingle Bell Run/Walk also. Do you know if it is being help at the Milwaukee County Zoo again? I'm glad you posted what the date was for this because I've been wanting to checki in to some local run/walks as training for the WDW 1/2 marathon. I still find it hard to believe that I will actually be able to run 3 miles at one time LOL. I have never been a runner but I am very motivated to do this. It sounds like were at about the same place in this program, yesterday was the second day of walk/jog for me and I'll do day 3 either tomorrow or Sat. Keep up the great work!!

Thanks for the support everyone! For me it's motivating to set this type of goal instead of a "I want to get fit" goal. I seem to stick to it better when I really have a target to shoot for. Cheryl we are at the same place. I'm taking off today and tomorrow and then will jog on Saturday. It's hard to believe in 6 months I could really run 3 miles but I'm willing to give it a try! The run/walk will be at the zoo again and we were there last year (DH ran and I walked) and it was a lot of fun! The Badgerland Striders have a website that lists the runs around here - we bought their book for $7.00 which has them all organized by date with all the info so you can see which ones are near you. Good luck!! :
