I’m gonna do it…
I registered today for the Toad Suck Daze 5K! No turning back now!
I’ve been jogging off and on for a while, and this is a goal I’ve been toying with, and I think I’m up to it. I’m not a serious runner—I only jog twice a week to give my joints and shins a chance to recover, then do aerobics on some of the in-between days. A 5K is 3.1 miles, which is about 31 minutes for me. I think jogging for 31 minutes is a good workout and indicates a good fitness level, so I’m happy with that. I mapped out a 3.1 mile route around my neighborhood and jogged it today, walking for about 2 minutes sometime in the middle but jogging the rest of the way. So I can do this!
I’ll let y’all know how it turns out. It’s on May 2 at 8AM… anyone want to come cheer me on? :)

Oh, I wish I could run the TSD 5K! I did it back in high school, and I thought about coming back to Conway to run it this year, but I have a test Saturday morning at 7:30… yes, before you even start running I will be writing essays on historical fiction novels. Whoever invented Saturday morning finals needs to take it back!
Seriously! I had no idea they scheduled Saturday morning tests. Especially that early. When are you supposed to sleep?!?
you go girl! I was on my treadmill this morning and let’s just say you are in better shape than yours truly!
Jennifer, that is great. I hope you enjoy the the run.
