MFP: MY 1ST 5K RUN

I've decided to sign Bob and myself up for our first 5K run. It will be November 3rd @ 5pm in Houston, TX. Its a night run where you deck yourself out with glo-in-the-dark gear and accessories. Bob thought I was insane, but I'm pumped for a new challenge.

I've never prepared for a race before and I thought it would be awesome to track my progress and see what sort of transformation my body will undergo.

WEEK 1:

7/16/12
Ran what I think was 3 miles on the treadmill at my hotel since I'm in Odessa, TX for work this week.

7/18/12
Thought it was going to be a good idea to run around UTPB's nature trial at 4pm with what feels like 100 degree temps!! Bad idea. I about died the first 1/2 mile into my run and pretty much walked the majority of the rest.

My second run has me feeling a bit defeated, but that's alright, at least I got out there and finished 2 miles in the blazing heat.

After-all, the goal is not only to prepare my mind and body for the 5K, but to become more physically fit!!

I'm attaching some pics of my before (today) and will post more pics of my journey throughout. Check them out at the bottom of the page. I'm excited to see what happens to my big butt!! ;-)

Stay tuned...will post more soon!
