Running, let me start off by saying that Im not the best at it to say the least, but ready or not I am going to run my very first 5k....SOON! Yes, I can't believe it either, I never thought that I would be signed up to run a race. I am very nervous and scared. Let me tell you how it all began.
As some of you may already know, my husband is a runner. He has ran several half marathons, and he will run his full marathon when I run my first 5k, thats so neat that both of us are embarking on something that we have never done before, together! I see my husband, sweat and be in pain almost everyday as he runs, but one of things that I admire the most about him is that he never quits.

My father in law is also a runner. He is the reason Adam started running in the first place, He is great at helping us reach our goals.

Now, let me talk about someone very special in my life, my mom! It was always her dream as a little girl to run a marathon, but she didn't even know where to begin. Thats where my great Hunny stepped in and started training her to run her very first half marathon...SCARY!!! I remember watching my mom in pain and tired, but did she quit? Nope, she pressed forward and ran her heart out and and finished that half maraton with pride, it was a very emotional time as we all celebrated in the accomplishments that everyone worked to hard to reach.

Now some of you may be thinking why didn't you train with your husband and mom??? Well at that time I was very pregnant with our little boy:)

After nine long months of being pregnant, our beautiful baby boy came into this world!:)

I really enjoyed watching my family train, but now its my turn.
I have just gotten started and it is not easy. I feel like the worst runner in the world. I feel like I am going to die before I reach a mile!!! I have been running for about a week now and believe it or not I am slowly improving.

So for all of you out there that say it is too difficult; you can do it!! just baby steps...and for me it is baby, baby steps:) so just determine that you are worth it and give it a try.
I am counting on this blog to keep me accountable and not quit. I'll try and post weekly and keep you all up to date on how I am doing... "slow and steady wins the race!"
