There is a first time for everything, right? I registered for this:

I know 9K may seem like nothing, but for me it is daunting. I haven't been working out or really even walking that much. I'm not a runner and have never ran a race if you don't count middle school track tryouts. I'm a little embarrassed to say, but my inspiration came when I got the Title Nine catalogue in the mail the other day -- those women (real women, not just emaciated models) have amazingly strong bodies. I want to have a stronger body. I feel like this goal is going to get me started in the right direction. Now if my psoas muscle would just settle so I can start training. It's time to put that jog stroller to it's real use!
Anyone want to join me? I could use a buddy or two. Especially another first-timer!
Good luck with that! I'm so impressed. Don't think you'll catch me doing much running as my knees and ankles are done, but I'm always impressed by people who do.
ReplyDeleteThanks... I need all the luck I can get!! :)
DeleteGood for you! I'm more of a back packing hiking kind of gal. I hope you keep us up dated on how your progress is going so we can cheer you on!
ReplyDeleteKC, I'm now wondering why I didn't just stick with the backpacking hiking thing!!! :) I'll keep you posted!
DeleteLove this!
ReplyDeleteListen for me cheering you on... from training day through the finish line. I once did a 10k, and sometimes I had to walk... no points were deducted from my triumphant (if slow) finish. Good luck!
right, no points deducted... good reminder! thanks!
DeleteHigh Five! I've always heard this is a great race, full of supportive women. You'll do great!
ReplyDeletethanks sister... and maybe ask me once in a while if I have started training!! wink!
DeleteCongratulations on taking the plunge, you will love it!!! Running for me is mediatative, I love it!! If I lived closer I would join you on race day, insead I will be cheering you on from afar.
ReplyDeleteA few words of advice - take it slow, don't rush it, listen to your body and stretch after every run. Oh, and get good shoes :)
I will love hearing you cheering from afar. thanks for the bits of advice... especially the stretching -- it's a great reminder for me who often doesn't give stretching the value that it is!
