Joined the Runners!

Yeah yeah I've been lazy with my blogs. Sorry about that. Was in hibernation mode for awhile. I am back!!!

So I found out that my company will be reimbursing employees who participates in the 5k race/walks/runs events. Since there are a lot of the charity events that are 5k runs, I thought, "Why not?". So here I started training to make it to 3.1 miles. At least I can do that... I did a test run last night to see how fast I can get to 3.1 miles... and the time was 47 minutes to be exact. I don't think that's bad for a beginnner, considering I've not had any reason to run since high school.  I've decided that in 6 weeks I want to make it to half of that time... get 3.1 mles in under 25 minutes before my first 5k. I'll be running with my husband at the 5k Run Like M.A.D.D.

I plan to train every other day so I don't exactly wear myself out. I hope to at least get to 3.1 miles in a minute less than the previous time each session. And I'll be eating plenty of foods high in carbs and proteins.

Wish me luck!!
