Fall = New Start

So I went to http://www.c25k.com/ b/c I'm interested in signing up for some 5k's. I'm content to (speed) walk them but at some point I'd like to jog/run them. I don't know why I couldn't. So in some of my looking around there was a training regimen for a couch potato to 5k-er. Hints the website. While on there, they had a link to http://www.c25k.com/ben_video.html. Super inspirational. So in my stalking ways I went to this amazing guys actual blog, http://bendoeslife.com/, and am more determined than ever to start speed walk/jogging. I may not drop the pounds as fast as him or make it to being a marathoner but I want to be a confident 5 to 10k-er. It's a start at least.

I've found a few 5k fun run/walks that Mom and Amanda might do with me... but starting the new year I want to be able to sign up for some and actually jog them. So my current year resolution is to be a 5k-er in 30-40 mins. That's just 3 miles at 10-12 mins/mile. I can already walk a 15 min mile but not more than one or two then I slow down... but I'm going to start working on this new goal and see where things go.
