Today I committed to run the 10k part of the Mud Run, happening in October. I am going to do this with Misti, and whoever else wants to join us.
Last year Misti ran the 5k with me and I am so thankful that she did. I can honestly say I would have walked more than I ran/jogged had she not been there to keep me going. You see, Misti is an experienced marathon runner and me, well let's just say at that point, I was still in the interval stage of running. HA!
Let me tell you that the mud run was the hardest thing I have done but so rewarding at the same time. I was estatic that I could walk after I crossed the finish line. Seriously.
So this year, Misti suggested we do the 10k and I said 'OK'. eeek! I took running/jogging consistently out of my workouts a while ago. Guess I better add it back in and add it in quickly, like tonight. I've got three and a half months to be in the 10k - not the slowest time having - shape. Know what I mean?
I CAN do this :: My goal is to work my patootie off to be 10k ready by October. I AM going to do this and I AM going to share what I do with all of you by adding progress to my posts. I have decided to add what I did at the end of each post for two reasons; 1) maybe I can motivate a friend or two and 2) this holds be accountable to keep doing it.
So, here we go! Check back tomorrow for an update. Weeeee!
