Journey to a 5K

I finally feel like myself again.  For the past few days I've been walking around in a dense fog--almost like I was trapsing thru cobwebs.  Sad thing is--in the back of my mind, I kept thinking...I need to finish training for my 5K, but my body felt like a lump of coal.  My body rebelled against me in the early part of the week and I didn't resume training until yesterday!! I'm glad to say that I got on the treadmill (because of the time of day) and I picked up where I left off.   I felt great, I'm up to 20 mins of running, on the treadmill.  Today, I ventured outside--in 70 plus degree weather...hmmmm, what was I thinking.  All I can say is, I had to keep repeating the famous verse I think I can, I think I can.  I'm not sure if it was the heat, or the fact that my nasal passages decided to shut down, I could barely breath--allergy issues...but I couldn't wait to get back inside.  The good thing is, I'm improving.  The interesting thing is how different running on the treadmill is versus running outside.  Sunday is fast approaching and I'm wondering at what point do you feel you are completely ready.  Two things I know for sure---1. Sunday is coming and 2. no matter what--I will be running across the finish line.  Now, here is my dilemma...what to wear!!!  Stay tuned.
