Hold up!

I'm going to run a 5k!!

Hate is a strong word, but I really, really don't like running!!

One of my friends at work talked me into doing it with her. And I thought, how bad could it be??
I know so many people that lose a good amount of weight by running.... so I thought I would give it a shot! So it's a shock-but a huge motivation for me.

We started with a training group last week, just running a mile. We all run Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday together.

So far I'm not doing so hot- but better then I thought I would.
I do 1.5 miles in 19 minutes.

We will run the Turkey Trot with the YMCA on Thanksgiving morning...

...and then eat, and eat, and eat!! hahaha

3 HOLLERS!:

way to go Anne! I am so proud of you that you are doing this even though it's hard. I have to agree though- I really really don't like running either. But all things considered, I'm happy walking these days!
