What did I do?

I'm signed up for a 5K to benefit a local women's shelter for the first Saturday in May. I will NOT be jogging the entire thing. I don't even think I could jog half of it. But I will jog some of it. There is a group of about seven ladies from work who have formed a team. We're a motley group of marathoners and walkers. (obviously I'm in the walker section)

I intended to start walking to get my legs used to a longer distance (you runners, don't laugh at me), but just haven't gotten to it. Exercise is on my list, but always falls short at the end of the day. I really need to change that. So, perhaps I can drag my ass out of bed tomorrow morning early and go for a walk before work. Hmmm...I better get to bed then.

Hey you have a couple of weeks up your sleeve :) What a nice thing to do. May your legs survive the shock :)

a good way to start: walk for 2-3 minutes, run for 30 seconds. It may seem short, but it's a start. It'll make the walk fly by too.
Kudos for signing up! :)

I did it, I set my alarm and got up around 5:30am. Went out for a walk where I did JOG for a brief period!!!

I started walking with our new "puppy" out of necessity. She has to have exercise if I want sleep at night. It's working, and I'm getting more accustomed to it. Derek walks her in the AM, and I walk her in the PM. Good luck!
