Training for a 5K in 4 weeks

Just click on the image and it will take you to the website. 

Yep, I am crazy. But I've decided to do it. There is a 5K on April 27th and I'm going to run in it. I've lost 28 pounds so far this year, but I've gotten bored with my routine and need another boost. So this is it. I've completed Day One! It was great. There is no way I could have just gone out and run a 5K today, but what they had you start with was just perfect. I did about 2 miles in about 30 minutes. Just a nice easy pace of running and walking. Looking forward to improving my endurance and being able to meet this goal. 

Wish me Luck!

Pictures taken while on the phone with my good friend Shelly. 

I was trying to explain to her how I had sewn 

these red flowers to my aqua shirt and she didn't think it sounded cute, so I took a few pics to send to her.
