Three Months Until the Next 5k

Last October I participated in my first 5k walk/run. It was the Koman Race for the Cure. I ran only 1/2 mile and walked the rest of the way. Spring is coming and now it is time to start preparing for my next 5k in April. My goal this time is to run the whole race, however, I would be happy to be able to run 2 miles of the circuit.

Training has begun again. I'm using the Couch Potato to 5k Plan (modified). I will be walking only for the next two weeks. After that I will begin to run in 30 second increments. This will give my body time to adjust and help prevent my poor knees from protesting so much.

It's another step to one of my goals for 2008.
