5K

The other morning, my sister Therese called me and said that she had read my blog post about my weaknesses and thought that I should consider running a 5K run.

Now, you need to know that my beautiful and fit sister who is about 12 years older than I am has been training and running for years now and I can barely make it to my body pump classes 3 times a week.

As I'm typing this, my legs are so sore from all the squats and lunges that I can barely sit down on the toilet seat (sorry for those of you who didn't want to hear that) and rolling out of bed this morning took way to much effort because my abs were killing me. Just lifting my arms up over my head to blow dry my hair is a challenge. The good news is I've been back to body pump consistently for the past two weeks and as sore as I am, I'm actually seeing results and I like it.

So, the answer is Yes. I am going to take Therese up on her offer. I can't wait to get started.

I've posted a few pictures of my sister and her hubby John who run all winter long and are notable marathoners. Therese is the one in the front row with the fluorescent yellow jacket on and John is the runner in the blue in the picture of the two guys. I'm so impressed with both of them and more than a little scared with the thoughts of trying to keep up.
