To help me keep motivated and moving forward, I am going to schedule a 5K in the near future. I am either going to do the September 17th 5K during the Bismarck marathon, or the 5K during the Sheyenne Valley Shuffle, on the same day. The Sheyenne Valley Shuffle was the half marathon that I completed last year and I think I would feel like more of a failure, than I already feel, going back to that race and only doing the 5K.
I once again started the Couch to 5K program, which is a 9 week program, mostly because it worked for me last time and to start getting back in shape. The timing would work out about right for September 17th. I started this program today and was not in as bad of shape as I thought. Mind you, I am very much out of shape, but not nearly as bad as when I started the program last time. And I plan on pushing it more this time.
I am really looking forward to this race. Anybody else?
