So i guess i'm not really good at this blog thing, mostly cuz i rarely have time to post, but here's my earnest attempt....

concerning the run, i don't know what program you're using, but for me, the best program i found was hal higdon's 5k for novice (http://www.halhigdon.com/5K%20Training/5-Knovice.htm). this is a 6-week program assuming you can run a mile and a half to begin with.... if you can't, no biggie, just start it at 7-weeks with a mile run, or even 8-weeks starting with 1/2 mile. now, i'm not a professional runner by any stretch of the imagination; but i found that anyone can run the distance... it just takes time to build up to it; even if you can only run for 2 min... the next time, just try to run for 3 min and build up to it... don't get discouraged...

oh, and we all need to sign up for this run ASAP, cuz for me at least, once the money is paid, it's definately more motivation --- i don't like to waste money.
