Nerves

Nervousness is upon me.

You see back in January I signed up for my first real 5k to be done on April 28th. I've done a few with XANGO in the past but this one is more real to me, hence the nervousness.

The 5k I'm doing with my sisters (minus Caiti - boo) and friends is The Pink Series 5k. It's a race for breast cancer. Now, I've never had it and no one in my family has had it, but I have friends whose mothers have had/still have it. It's a good cause and I'm excited to be a part of it.

After I signed up I started the C25K (Couch to 5k) training program. I loved it!

However on my 6th week the bone spur on my heels started hurting quite a bit. So I cooled it down a little with the running, to let it try and heal.

Then I got another respiratory infection. Not a fan of those.

I started running again with my friend Ashley - but I wasn't running as many minutes as I had been before.  I felt like I had to start all over again. Blasted!

So, to make a long story short, and the reason why I am nervous is because I don't feel all that prepared.

It is a downhill course so that'll help, I hope.

I'm excited, I'm nervous, I'm anxious, I'm everything!! I know it'll be fun, and that's what I'm looking forward to.

I'm not racing to beat a time or anything (although I would like to be under 40 minutes). I'm doing this for fun, and because I need my activities to be just that ACTIV-ities.

Saturday here I come!!! Wish us all luck!

Pictures to follow.
