Guess What!? For those of us running the Y-Me 5k on Mothers Day.... Training starts MONDAY! I don't know about you, but I am so excited!! Its been way too long since I've run an actual race. As many of you know I was into running BIG TIME. I'm talking I was doing a race almost every other week in the summers. Granted, I LIVED down here, and had someone else paying for me to do them. Lot easier that way! ;o) Anyway, during the last marathon I went into it with a knee injury and was advised by my orthopedic doc to NOT run. However, knowing me (i also came right out and told him) there was no way I was missing the marathon. At that point I had spent too much time and money getting ready for it. So he told me to run and to see him afterwards as I'll be needing him. Sadly he was right! LOL! Don't you hate that!? Anyway, with months of doctor apts and physical therapy behind me, I am ready to begin again.
I think my knees knew this as I woke up with them very sore. Figures, right?
I added a link on the sidebar (under the scary ladies) to a training schedule for running your first 5k. Also, here is another link if you wanted to look at that one. Figure out which will work best for you. I can't wait to start running with you cuties!

I'm big into running/walking myself. I just added the link to our sidebar.
I'm so excited! I ran with the kids this morning for the first time in quite a while and it felt so good! So hot, but yet so good! It's weird because I haven't run by myself in 3 years. I almost wonder if it will be weird to run with out pushing a 60 lb stroller? Seriously, do you think I'll just start falling forwards and tripping over myself? HA Ha! Anyway, I'm doing the run/walk program too. I just need to get a timer so I can be a little more accurate.
