I finished my first 5k race and didn't collapse at the end. Not bad for someone who has never ran more than a 1.5 miles before. My friend and I decided one day we were going to a start a program called Couch to 5k which trains you to run a 5k in 9 weeks from nothing. I am pleased to say we did it in 8 weeks. It was a really cool feeling running across that finish line. I am really proud of myself. The hardest part of the whole thing was finding time to run and getting motivated to run. There were times after a 12 hour shift at work when I would come home and the last thing I wanted to do was run and the last thing Mike wanted be to do was run as well (he was done with B at that point and wanted a break). Thanks to Mike for watching B man for me even when he was exhausted and or busy so I could run. Thanks to Heather for keeping me on point with my check in's. Maybe I will do another one maybe not, only time will tell.
