Run Kam Run


"I was running"

I recently signed up to run my first 5k on October 2nd.

For those of you who don't know, a 5K is 3.1 mile race.I had the option to sign up for the fun walk,non-competitive run, or the competitive run. Well, I signed up for the 5k non competitive run. The longest I've ever been able to run without stopping in my life is 1 and a half miles.
I used to walk EVERYWHERE. My senior year of high school I lost about 50 lbs from walking along with a musical theatre class. I know my training will result in some type of weight loss,but I'm much more excited about pushing myself to some kind of limit for the first time since before I broke my ankle.

After my surgery, I gained about 40 lbs. I've slowly been getting rid of it, but had a few speed bumps here in there( cough cough cookies/candy table at work that I have to fight to ignore everyday). I'm looking forward to this race,and while I know I won't win or come close to it, my goal will be to complete the full 3 miles without stopping.

Here we go!
