Well.. I have been training for the 5K for... a while? 2 or 3 weeks maybe? I probably should have looked back through my journals before starting this one. Anyways. I'm pretty sure I can finish the 5K 5 minutes over what I finished it last year with zero training while avoiding the rain. I am 15 lbs heavier than I was last year so maybe this is actually good. Either way I'm training, working out, and improving my health so even if I don't beat my time I'm improving and making myself better than I was yesterday. Plus I have all summer long to find more 5Ks to improve my time with. And.. I got a treadmill ordered and it should be here Saturday so I can practice running even if it's dark, or raining, or there are tiny kids making rounds on tractors, or if there was actually a bear instead of just the whole thing in my head where I say if a bear came over the hill you would be food right now. I still have a week and a half before the 5K so maybe I can cut that 5 minutes out. Even if I don't.. I'm still pretending I can run.
Now all I have to do is get control of my eating and I could actually lose weight and get into a shape. Maybe an upside down pear. I would be ok with being an upside down pear.
