My running Update!

The family running shoes!

So I'm thinking about doing a 1/2 marathon in the late fall...Am I crazy? Not sure, but I definately have the running bug. They say once you start, you get addicted and I am. I have been using my Nike+ for my iPod for a little over a week now and I love it!

I am doing a 5k four to five times a week now on my lunch break or in the evening (still cant make myself wake up to run before work). I have a route I do through my neighborhood or when Evan is at dance, through a very nice neighborhood (which is kinda hilly) behind his studio that is on the river.

My first official 10k race is over Labor Day weekend, it is the Fernandina Beach Turtle Trot...I have a countdown on my blog page to keep me focused. I want to be able to run the entire 6.2 miles without having to walk any of it.

This past weekend I went to 1st Place Sports and registered and paid for all these upcoming events: the Memorial Day 5k on May 31st, the Never Quit Beach Run 5k on June 5th (this will be my first race on sand), and the Run for the Pies 5k the evening of June 12th! My friend, Jendy, will be in town visiting from Nashville, TN the week of the Run for the Pies 5k and she is running it with me...I am so excited! My goal by then is to do it in 30 minutes!
