Couch to 5K: Race Redux

Since the Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving Day was sort of a bust (so crowded we couldn’t really keep up a pace of jogging for more than a few minutes at a time) Karin and I have decided to run a better race, hopefully one that is less crowded, on December 15.  It’s called the Jogger Egg Nogger, and at the end of the race, they serve eggnog, both leaded and unleaded. Even though I don’t like eggnog, I still think it’s fun. This one is actually timed, although I don’t give a fig about my time. I just do it for the exercise and the t-shirt. But there will be less folks out there just for a stroll. In fact, it’s a 5K RUN so there better not be any walkers out there.

This time I’m making Jake and Bridget come so they can wave to me as I cross the finish line. Last time was too crazy, but this should be a better situation all around. I really can’t wait!

I think I need to just find one of these every month or six weeks or so and that way I’ll have to keep up my running to stay ready for them. Plus it’s a great way to increase my t-shirt wardrobe, <sarcasm>which like all new moms, is certainly lacking. </sarcasm>
