My first 5K
6 months ago I would not have considered myself competitive. But watching other runners pass me on the trail, well, pisses me off. I guess that is good motivation, but is that the kind of person I want to be? The kind of person that constantly compares herself to everyone around her?
By the end of this week, I will have my first 20 minute run in. If I survive that, I think I will make it - but i doubt I will be setting any records.
Check out my AIDS Run/Walk website. And feel free to sponsor me if you are able.

A topic near and dear to my heart. Watch out... running is addictive.
I hate to get all runner zen on you, but... Acceptance of one's pace and ability is a beautiful thing. So is competition. So is the knowing in your heart that you will get better, it's just going to take time. Remember you're only racing against yourself.
It takes a lot to get out there and be a new runner. I applaud you and look forward to engaging you during our journey to the land o' cheese with a story called, "Running Changed My Life."
I bet you're kinda sorry you bought that ticket now. :)
