By the way, not a bad time at all. Less than 8 minute miles. Unless of course, this is a math problem I don’t understand.

I’m on Week 5 (but it is actually only my 2nd full week because I started on Week 3) and so far so good. There is a 5k here on April 10th and I can’t decide whether I should run it or not. I’ll be ready, training wise, but I don’t know if I care about the actual race part that much. I’m curious to see how you feel about it!

I am SO PROUD of you MEGO!!

You will be great. Just take it easy at the start. With your adrenaline pumping, people around you and all the excitement, your natural tendency will be to go faster than you probably planned at first. Just pace yourself. You are going to be great!

Seriously, so proud of you lady!! Let me know how it goes!

I’m impressed. I was just saying how working out requires so much gear.

This isn’t entirely true, although I could use a new pair of tennis shoes. But I went to a Zumba class, which was awesome, and then realized I needed a new sports bra, and some non-sweatpants I could wear (ie yoga pants). I was doing a fair amount of snowshoeing there for a while – bought some other fleece pants for that. Let’s not even get into swimming, and needing a suit, and goggles, and possibly even a swimcap?!

I’m exhausted, and I haven’t even hit the gym.
