So I will be participating in my first 5k come September. I'm wanting to tell the whole world so I will be held more accountable! I figure the more people I tell then it's that many people I would have to tell if I didn't follow through! I had to go and get new shoes today, which was the most I'd ever spent on any pair of shoes.

JOURNALING: the idea of me participating in any kind of long distance run/walk event has always been the furtherest thing from my mind. im completely out of shape and have physical limitations. or do i? has that always been my excuse? no more excuses. i did my first day of training last week and by the end of it i thought for sure my lower legs were going to break in half. and then someone made the suggestion of getting the right kind of shoes. so here they are. the shoes im hoping will put the spring in my step that spurs me on to victory. and the amazing thing is that im truly looking forward to my first 5k scheduled for september first, two
thousand and eight. a day when the impossible becomes the possible and victory is marked not by where i finish, but by the fact that i do finish.
