5K for the Newbie

I will officially enter the world of runners this Thanksgiving. I used to run for fun before I met my Love and then the sprouts came along soon after, which inevitably filled all the nooks and crannies of my time. But the season has come when we are not expecting any new sprouts at present, so I can pick back up where I left off 5 years ago. Ya right!
So the training begins. Whoopee! Actually, I started hitting the gym back in February of this year and have run off 40 lbs.

So, for all the years I would make fun of the "Trotters" as we passed them on the way to Joshua's parents house for a 2000 calorie meal, this year I will join them.
Maybe next year the Cherry Blossom in DC?
Tiff, Kim, Hannah, you game?

Woo-hoo! So proud of you. I bet it's nice to be able to get out and exercise. It's really helpful to have a goal (like a race) to keep you motivated. Love you!

RAWESOME! Enjoy that! If you see ME running, you better call the cops because it means someone is trying to kill me!

I'll stick to weights, thank you. ;)

And you look AMAZING!
