Signed up for my 1st 5k!
I started C25K this week (I jumped to week 3 b/c the earlier weeks felt too easy and I didn't technically start "from the couch"). I took everyone's recommendations and got fitted for running shoes this weekend. I've been looking into various 5Ks in my area (and beyond b/c there isn't much in my area) and picked one on April 15th!
I won't be quite done with C25K, but last year's finishing times went into the 55min range, which I can do even if I walk the whole thing, so I figure I'm good.
I'm a social worker and it's a benefit for foster kids aging out...and I couldn't resist the offer of a free cupcake at the end!
I can't believe I actually signed up - it's actually real now.
