...that I'm no good at running without a plan and a goal.
So.... I found a goal and I made a plan. Erin (Lucas) Halsey is going to drive down from VA and we are going to run the Candlelight Run. Its a 5K at night and its all lit up by luminaries. Melanie ran it last year (5 weeks after giving birth!) and she's going to run it again this year. If I can run 13 seconds faster than she did right after giving birth, then I will have met my goal.
My goal is to run my first 5K in under 30 minutes. It can be 29:59. I don't care as long as I get in under 30. That is my goal. And I only have 6.5 weeks to get there!
Anyone else want to run with us? I think we should make T-shirts. Can you even order 2 custom T-shirts? I mean I'm not totally opposed to iron-on but I'd rather it be real.

I have a friend who has an etsy shop that does all kinds of custom orders. Not sure if she does t-shirts, but I'd imagine she would.
What's that glittery/rhinestone do-it-yourself stuff called? You could always be glam for the run. ;)
I hope to do a 5K someday. Most likely I'll be walking it though. I'm soooo not runner material.
I'm tempted to do this with you. but then I remembered I hate running. also, not sure how much I can run anyway in late june. I'll do a swim or tri with you, though!
bring Hazel out for the run....I've never even met the girl. I guess a week before your due date isn't the best time?
JILL COULD BEDAZZLE US SOME T SHIRTS! Yes!
Erin G- I'm so there. I totally want to do a tri. How powerful would that be? Man. Logistically, how can I train for a tri?
well, you'd need a bike. and access to a pool. I just swim at the pools operated by our parks&rec department and run by the county. a 10-visit punch pass comes out to like 50c a visit. totally worth it. sometimes I just go with nathan instead of working out. :)
or, you know... you could just do like mark and wing it. :)
yeah the whole bike and pool thing is throwing me off.
winging it is sounding better and better
You go from a 5K to a triathlon in a day? I'm impressed. I'm all for the shirts. I want fancy ones that make me look skinny. Can Jill do that? Orrrr I'll have my kids fabric paint us some after SOLs are over and I lose them completely. Not sure about running with you pregnant girls - you'd probably beat me and that would be rough on the self-esteem! Kelley, I did 3 miles today in 31.5 minutes. I can't imagine going any faster, UGH!
I need to dig out that bedazzler...
I want to run in that race! I need some motivating. And we might be doing a YL tri in the fall at wild cat lake for a fundraiser...
ps i want you to note that i am commenting!
comment noted. and i totally want a bedazzled shirt to run in. And I hope I get to see you tomorrow!!
