I've come up with some random ideas in my time, some more crazy than others. My newest one isn't necessarily a bad idea in the sense that it is healthy for you. I've been increasing my work out schedule, not entirely due to the wedding, but also because I have really been enjoying it and trying to make the time for it, especially when I'm not in school and have homework to contend with.
My newest idea is that I'd really like to run a 5K race. My problem is that I've never been a runner, my knees just haven't been on my side. I can do two hours a day at the gym no problem, an hour in toning class plus an hour in cardio class (step is my favorite), I actually look forward to it. I'm sure mentally I could handle a 5K, after all it's only 3.1 miles. I told Mike my idea tonight and he didn't seem to think I was crazy or shoot me down, although he might after I start complaining about knee pain. He actually said he would join me!! (This coming from someone that hasn't seen the inside of the gym since once in January and years before that, although he is very fast out on the softball field).
There's a race coming up in our town on Saturday, July 17th at 9am and it's only $20 to register and participate. I think I would like to try and train for it so I can say that I did it, even if it's just once and say I gave it a shot. Here's hoping my knees will keep up with my head and I can make it!
