someone sign me up for a 5k!

Week 3.

I've thought about signing up for a 5k for at least a year, maybe longer, but never have. I have this thing with wanting to be able to run the whole race whenever I do finally do one, and 3 miles has always seemed like too much. As of Sunday, I now know I could do it!! It's exciting. I must say, if I wasn't training for an 8k, I would be content sticking with 3 miles for a while, maybe for the rest of my running career. But, I can't stop now! It's crazy to think that in about a month I will run 5 miles. It kind of makes me want to puke. But I guess that's the whole point behind gradually increasing the distance. So I don't puke.

I'm running this race for our friend Zane. Even though he doesn't care at all if I finish, for some reason it is giving me the push I need to train. I like it. If you'd like to support the cause - to find a cure for juvenile diabetes - or to sign up to run on my team, just go here. Thanks!
