The true test...

I walked & ran my third day of week two for the Couch to 5K program on Saturday. I am hoping that week three doesn't kick my butt. Jen called on Friday and convinced me to sign up for a 5K on March 14th. It is called the Running with the Irish, 5K Run & Walk. It is held at the Indiana Dunes State Park in Chesterton. I guess I have a deadline to be ready for now. That will be the true test as to whether I can hack this running thing or not.

oh man! I wish there was a 5K close to me around that time too! My friend Shantell and I have been looking and looking because we want to do one too!

You're right, anytime you want to skip that day's run all you have to do is think ahead to how you'll feel trying to run a 5K without the training! ha

go lee go...Larry uses races he signs up for as his motivation too...he actaully ran the one you are signed up for. I forgot about that one. He hasn't signed up for the mini-marathon yet, and hasn't been running, it's a bit too cold and no treadmill here!..not even a gym in town, closest is in Plymouth

That's why I sign up too... that way I know if I make excuses I'm actually out money. That's definitely motivation for me! I'll see you in March, and we'll go slow together!
