Recently, Carolyn invited me to participate in an upcoming 5K Run on Whidbey Island. I told her I would have to look into it and think about it. I have always wanted to run a 5K and this seems to be a good opportunity to DO IT! I do have one slight reservation and that is I AM NOT A RUNNER! When my husband can run backwards faster than I can run forward, I have a problem.
So, I spoke with Tess, one of my friends who has just completed two 5K runs, and she gave me some advice on how to prepare for the run. I also went online and "googled" how to prepare for a 5K run and found some additional information, which was also very helpful.
I spoke with Steve about this and he thinks it would be a great idea and fun too! I am trying to encourage him to begin a training routine with me as time is short. The race is August 11th.
With P90X almost completed, we have laid a foundation that should help us in this run. Steve hasn't ran since he injured his calves. So stay tuned....you never know what is going to happen with these two primetime baby boomers. :)
:) it will be fun. I'm probably going to walk most of it, with spurts of running since I'm not a runner either, but the point is to just do it. The 5K walk is really pretty scenery also!
