Recently, I've decided that I am going to run a 5k. Now, to some of you a 5k may not seem that difficult, but for me it'll be a challenge, as running will be completely new to me. Trust, I've got a long way to go. I not only need to get into shape, I need to lose weight, and build endurance as well. I haven't exercised on a regular basis since sometime last year, so I'm in for a uphill battle. But I'm up for the challenge.I've already purchased running shoes, but I'll continue to use my walking shoes until I start to actually run. It took me forever to finally pick a pair.
My next step is to buy some sports bras. This should be fun! /sarcasmEarlier this week I tweeted that I was going to run a 5k, and Tiffany from Moscato and Mayhem wants to run a 5k also. So, we decided that we would blog about our journey.
Today, I walked with my husband and dog. We walked about 1.5 miles. It wasn't too bad.
Has anyone run a 5k? If so, what did you do to prepare?
I didn't even know there was a difference between running shoes and walking shoes. This should be fun!
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until last year. Honestly, I doubt there really is much difference.
