Couch-to-Holy-Crap-I-Registerd-for-a-5k!

Holy crap.

Yesterday I registered for a 5k race.

Running a 5k is on my List. And I fully intended to run one sometime in the next 12 months.

There was no deadline.

No race in mind.

Just this abstract concept that sometime in the next 12 months I would force myself to run 3.1 miles with a large group of strangers.

I had briefly considered how I might go about training for said race but figured I would plan it out later.

Well, later has become now.

I am officially registered to run a 5k in Commerce, Georgia on June 26.

I will be visiting South Carolina for a friend’s wedding. Some good friends from graduate school will be there and one suggested we run a race together.

So, we are.

Which means I need to actually begin training.

Holy crap.

So, Monday is the day I begin the couch-to-5k training program. I have heard several people mention it so I am hopeful that it will be a success.

I am sure you will hear more about it as I am sure there will be a fair amount of bitching and moaning that occurs.

But, even amongst the bitching and moaning, I am very excited to be moving forward on another item on the List.

And hopefully this training will lead to another List accomplishment, hitting my target weight.

Because, seriously, I gotta get rid of some of this junk in the trunk before I do this race….

Seriously.
