My husband and I have decided to train to run a 5k. We need to lose weight, so we figured why not have a goal to strive for. Three days a week for three months, we're going to work up to be able to run a 5k! I'm really excited. I've always wanted to be in a race but never had the gumption to do it until now. I want to go from Jell-O to marshmallow in three months! (You know, one is all jiggly and the other is firm.)
So Kara and I started today. It was an adventure to say the least. Kara had her two boys plus another boy she was babysitting. I had my two girls plus another girl I was babysitting. 6 kids under the age of 3 made for an exciting outing but it was fun. There was only one downside. When it was my turn to run, I got about half way through before my bladder was ready to explode. I think being pregnant shrunk a certain area. lol But next time, I'm going to do it all! I'll keep you updated on our progress. :)

How fun! I did this great from couch to 5K program last year and I loved it. It gives step to step things to do each day. I believe its in 8 or 9 weeks? Its on running.com. GOOD LUCK!
Thanks Maren! The one I'm looking at is in 12 weeks, but I will look at the one you mentioned. Thanks!
Go Michelle and Kara . . . and dh! Way to go! :)
Michelle, I'm a middle aged not-so-athletic mom, but some of the most fun times I've had as an adult have been challenging myself to do a 5k like you are doing, or this year I walked/jogged a mini marathon. I say, "Hail Michelle," for taking all those kids on a run! I never did that, for sure. I will be excited to see you report on your progress and the race.
It might have been 12 weeks now that I think about it. I think we had to shave off 3-4 weeks though I started in end of April needed it by July. Its a great program!!! Keep us posted!
