Well there's a good reason for my laziness! Tomorrow morning I am participating in my first ever 5K sponsored by a local orthopedic doctor's office. This run is not for a charity, but it's being held to increase awareness of becoming a more physically active community. I have convinced 2 of my besties to run with me and although we don't think we will be able to run the entire way, we're going to give it our best shot!
Today after picking my up registration packet, I drove the route that we will be walking/running. It didn't look too bad minus the three hills that I saw.
Wish me luck, pray that I don't puke everywhere or get some insane leg cramps. This isn't my first time running nor my first time running 3.1 miles - I run quite a bit on my own, but this is my first organized race. I hope this is the start of something great, I hope that tomorrow I meet more amazing people who are interested in participating in other charity races!
So here's to a night of relaxing & mentally preparing for tomorrow's insanity!
X's & O's!
