Sunburst 5k

You may remember that last year Matt & I were going to run a 5k together for our anniversary.  Well, life happens and plans fell through.  With him living 4 hours away for 2 months, me taking care of the kids, and trying to move -  the 5k fell to the back burner.

With life calming down (for the most part) and the holiday goodies adding pounds to our waist lines we have decided that we will run a 5k for this anniversary.  We even have placed our registration fees for the Sunburst 5k in South Bend on June 1st.  The fees are non refundable so we will be there with our running shoes on.  

We have started our training and it has been an uphill battle.  I can't even believe I used to play basketball.  But with each interval it gets easier and with each work out - we are encouraged.  

Even being winded, tired, and sore we feel energized and fulfilled after each work out.  

And that is what doing this challenge is all about.

You'll notice that on the right hand side of the page at the top we have our countdown until the race.

You will have to check back periodically to see how training is going and to see the outcome of our hard work.
