The Race Is On!

I did it! After much contemplation over the last couple days I signed up for the Inagural Superbowl Sunday 10k Run at Cal-State Sacramento. Rich has been spearheading this run at work and has gotten a lot of co-workers to participate. So I was feeling like maybe I should try it but wasn't confident enough. Plus I don't know a lot of the people who are running with Rich and didn't want to be running by myself. Thankfully I talked Jada into becoming my partner in crime for this, soooooo we are doing it!

Running has been a challenge for me but it has been fun to get up every morning and just get out there and do it. I've been following a plan I found online and just walking a minute, running a minute for about 15 min. This week I increased the interval to walk a minute, run 2 min. But today I wanted to challenge myself, so I ran for a solid 5 min, walked 1 minute, ran 5 more min, walked for about 1.30 min & then ran for another 3 min. I'm going to continue pushing myself and by this time next week I would like to be able to run a mile without stopping. I have to seriously pray as I'm running though for God to give me strength to endure. I believe He will help me meet this goal.

Check back soon as I update my progress!
