I signed up to do the 5K and the 10K again in May in Fargo. I'm looking forward to them and hope to be able to run some this year. Then I really lost it... I signed up to do a HALF MARATHON in September!

I can't believe I did that! The self-doubter in me is telling me that there's no way I can do it, but the optimist in me knows that I can and will do it well. So today I re-started the Couch to 5K program to start jogging. It was cold outside and I didn't feel like going to the gym to get on a treadmill, so I walked and ran around my house, literally. I'm sure if anyone had seen this, they would have thought I truly lost it, but I was running laps around my living room, down the hall to my son's room, into the guest room, down to the kitchen and back through the living room. HA! I know that's weird, but it worked for me! I'm looking forward to spring to get outside to do the program as I have an irrational fear of running on a treadmill. In the mean time, I'll run around my house and work up my endurance and, come spring and the races in Fargo, I'll be running!

I would really like to do a 5k! But I have this fear that I would be the only one who wouldn't be running the whole time.
I am so excited to hear about your races! I am hooked too...such a great feeling to accomplish something! Dont be afraid to run on the treadmill...just start slow and work your way to faster speeds as you get comfortable! And to mom on a mission...you will not be the only one walking at your 5k:). Lots of people walk...especially if you sign up for a bigger event! My first 5k I was so afraid I would finish last (I ran it) and I wasn't even close! Dont be afraid to go after it:)
I'm so jealous that you are running! It's something I've always wanted to do and I never really succeed.
That dang cold always trips me up. Pun intended!
I just signed up for a half marathon too!! I can't wait to start training!!
I might see you at the 5k/10k events! :)
Haha the thought of you running around the house is quite funny.
But keep up the awesome work! :D
