Day 1

So last week I decided that I was going to train to run the Turkey Trot in Dallas.... on a whim I might add. I felt like I needed to set a goal for myself for motivation to get to the gym.... why I picked running, my most dreaded activity I am not sure but you get a cool shirt out of it. So after making this decision I called my aunt who lives in Dallas and asked her to join me. She was super encouraging and sent me a great guide to train...... it's called From the Couch to a 5k. So today I will venture to the gym to start training for the big event that will take place Thursday, November 26th. I have 12 weeks to build up to 3.1 miles but if everything goes well I might run the 8 mile one. I will keep you posted on my adventures to train for a 5k.
