finally a goal

Well its time to commit. I've decided to run a 5k on Aug. 20. I'm pretty excited. I've started this week with my 2 mile goal and intend to increase it 1/2 mile every week until the race. Not a huge distance I know but a great start. I have also increased my speed a bit. I figure I should get used to the speed now so that I'm not the last person crossing the finish line. The run last night was not easy but it seems to be helping my back and I do sleep a lot better after. I hope to get a short run in this weekend even though we will be at East Canyon, but we'll see. For now though I'm glad to be back!

Monday

Sore back and all I decided I needed to get out and run. Well I did it! 1.75 mile at a pace of 5 miles per hour. I'm still not breaking any records but at least I'm out running. Tomorrow and Thursday we are going out again. Hopefully I will hit the 2 mile mark. Correction... I will hit that 2 mile mark!!!
