Training

I have started training for a 5k. (I can say that now that I am in the 2nd week of training instead of the first week, right?) There was a short article in the January Ensign about how mommies need to take time for themselves to exercise, and I thought, hmmm, that might be helpful for me. My sister-in-law Klari started doing triathlons last year. She keeps trying to recruit the rest of us to join her. Well, I do not enjoy swimming. I also have a friend in the ward who runs, and gets her kids registered in the Fun Runs for kids that usually accompany a 5k. I have jogged regularly at different points in my life, punctuated by periods of inactivity in between. ahem. And there is an annual 5k that goes right past my house, reminding me every Spring that I have missed another opportunity. But this Spring will be different! I will run a 5k, and I will sign up BooBear for the Fun Run. Klari kindly pointed me to the "couch to 5k" program, which is geared for people like me.
