5k Fanatic... Plus One...

So the big day is getting closer and closer! I'm only 8 days away from my first race, the Iron Girl 5k in Clearwater! I've been following the Shape Couch to Finish Line 5k Program by Jeff Galloway. It basically combines walking with running in order to give your body a chance to recharge and produce the best times you can. I hope it works on race day! I got a sneak peek at what the finisher's medal looks like (which I copied from the Iron Girl website) and I've got to say - I'M EXCITED!!!! Take a look!


 I've been keeping up with my training and running three times a week but have been derailed by shin splints a couple of times. I hate getting shin splints! If you don't know what I am talking about, count yourself lucky! So, what's my plus one? Well, Dawson decided he is going to start running with me a few times a week so we headed out to Fit2Run at International Plaza and got him fitted for some running shoes and off we go! I also added a widget on the side of the blog to keep track of his miles too. Hopefully this will be something fun and healthy for us to do together. We will see...
