Let the training begin.

I have always wanted to be a runner. In high school every summer I would say I was going to join the cross country team. My high school, Mountain View, has the best cross country team in the country. No Joke. When I traveled people knew of my high school because of the cross country team. Well every morning for about 3 weeks I would set my alarm and say I was going to go running with the team. And for about 3 weeks I would turn the alarm off and go back to sleep saying I would go tomorrow.
Well then I met a really athletic friend, Trina, who for fun would run. She would run like 3 miles in the morning and sacrifice sleep for endorphins. And she was faithful. FIve days a week for at least an hour she exercised. And she was happy and healthy and was nice to her kids. That is what I want to be like.
So here I am officially committing to a 5K to start with. I don't know the name but my sister-in-law's work is doing a 5K and I said I would do it. THe most I have ever run is 3 miles and that was only once. So it will be a challenge. I think a goal of 25 minutes to finish should be a good goal right. Just under 8 minutes a mile. I can do a 10 minutes mile now and that is pushing it. Well the race is in April and I hope that even though the air is cold, the kids are heavy in the stroller and I don't run as of now, that I can run everyday, get used to the cold air and well, the kids are not getting any lighter.
