Challenging myself for a future goal!


Many of my friends have participated in the Army Run this year, be it running or walking, and it has given me the itch to join the masses next year.  I'd like to challenge myself to be able to run the full 5K. 

I've been seeking advice from my coach (my amazing cousin!) and she has told me that with training, I could do it!  Run for a bit, walk for a bit, run for a bit more, walk for a bit more.... "don't overdo it!" she says.  Yeah... I doubt that!  It's going to be tough as I've never really jogged before.  Will definitely need a good sports bra!  LOL!

I've been dying to start working out again but my ankle still has not gotten better and bruising has now shown up, after 2 weeks.  I may have to go see the doctor.  They'll most likely say that it's sprained, but because the swelling has not really gone down and there's still pain (no crutches needed now, thankfully!), I may have to go and get it checked out.  :(

Once my ankle is fully recovered, a friend of mine suggested we do the "Couch Potato to 5K running program" together.  This sounds like a great idea and a great running plan.  Am excited about starting!!!! 

So, who's with me for next year's Army Run?!
