Yup, I’ve decided to just bite the bullet and sign up for my first 5K of the season. It’s actually the race that goes right next to our back yard, so the kids can sit on the deck and cheer me on as I run … er, mean, slowly jog by!
It’s called the Celebration of Children 5K.
The race is on June 7th. Which is coincidentally the same day that one of Tim’s cousin’s is getting married so I’m going to have to run quick right away in the morning and then get booking it to the wedding which is a few hours away. We’re not exactly sure what time the wedding is going to be, so I sort of took a gamble signing up for it but I’m extremely hopeful that the timing will all work out. And I really wanted to do this race since it’s literally right around our neighborhood. Also, as a tid-bit of random information: it is organized by a family that I used to teach piano. They are a delightful family and I’m happy to help support them and in turn support our schools. I guess a portion of their proceeds go to the Shakopee P.E. programs. See? It’s a win win!
And for now, I’m going to keep on working out and hopefully once it actually warms up I’ll be able to start jogging outside. 🙂 That would be good, eh?
So fun! You’re going to do great!
You go for it!
