What Did I Get Myself Into???!???!?

So the kids at school challenged some teachers, and the principal to a 5k race.  That 3.1 miles.  I used to run that like cake back in the day (about 10 years ago).  Right now, I like to think I could do it, but 70lbs heavier would make it difficult.  Not to mention I would collapse a the finish line.  

I'm gonna do it.  I'm sick of being fat.  And this gives me a reason to go to the gym.  I just wish they had a track, I really HATE treadmills.  Hate to the fact, that I'll run in the snow before I'll run on a treadmill.  I can't wait until Spring, then I can run outside.  I used to love running, but it's been so dang long...

So now that it's out there for the whole world to see, I guess I better get my fat butt ready for May 17th...

I was gonna start today, but well, it's raining ice.  Would that be considered sleet or freezing rain.  Like so bad it took me 1.25 hours to drive 7 miles home from school....

Good luck with the run! My first 5k in many years is coming up next week, and I found Cool Running's "Couch to 5k" program really great. The first few weeks were easy, the middle had a little touch of "I'm going to die", and the end is pleasant.
