    Default I just set a goal

    I am registered to do a 5km run! Jan. 1, 2010

    Won't that be a fantastic way to start the year!?!

    I was very intimidated by it, until I was told that today I just did 3 km in 20 minutes. this is the beginning of our second week. So I am sure I can do it!

    I'm excited!

    Great way to start the year...doing something positive. Me now, I'd croak but wishing you all the luck in the race. First to the finish line.

    Not concerned with being first to the finish line, just crossing it is good enough.

    I did 3km tonight in 20 minutes. That was a walk run combination.
