Journey to a 5K

So, it's official...I've decided to bring out my "inner runner" and try something new.  A few years ago, I made a list of things I wanted to do by a certain age....One of those things was to run a marathon.  Well, that certain age, has come and gone but deep inside I still have an inkling of wanting to run a marathon, however, I would be satisfied if I could just run.  I tried track back in high school, but quickly realized that wasn't for me.  However, some years later (okay MUCH later) I have this strange burning desire to get into running. SO, here we go,  Or here I go.  After talking to another girlfriend who said she too wanted to run, we are discussing joining a running group and eventually running in a race.  I couldn't talk her into golf, but she was down for the running!  Well, I've decided to take the plunge and start preparing for a 5K with the anticipation that in the near future, I will actually run in one.  Okay, I know, a 5K isn't that far, but for a non-runner, it is a start.  Remember, small steps toward big change.  I started training last night after researching for training plans.  The one I picked seems easy.  I made it through Day 1, with no problems.  How hard is it to run 1 minute and walk 1 minute and repeat it 10 times....that was a breeze....Well, we will see how much of a breeze things are as I progress.  Stay tuned!!!
