5k

Okay, so....I can't seem to find any motivation to start exercising!! It may be because weight loss occurs 80% from diet changes (although I'm not working very hard at this, either) and only 20% from exercise. Now that's not to say that there aren't a MILLION other reasons to exercise, but I'm all about looking for a good excuse...until now. I am going to sign up for my first 5k....RUN!! Not a walk...I've done that before, but I have never run a 5k. I found a good one for September, and went to sign up for it, but I can't until after July 4th. So, I'll mark my calendar...NO EXCUSES!!!

Here's the info:

Saturday, September 8, 2012 - ARC RACE 2012
Distance: Half marathon and 5k
Location: Liverpool, NY
Time: 9:10am
Race Details: Mark your calendar for the 18th Annual Arc Race, September 8th, 2012. More than 1600 people will join Arc in support of people with developmental disabilities. Enjoy a fun-filled day of running, walking, family entertainment and attractions. Run in the certified 5k, the certified Half-Marathon, or walk in the 3k Fun Walk! Kids 7-12 years of age can participate in the Kidz 1 Mile Fun Run! Bring family and friends to enjoy the day in our extensive Family Fun Zone. Arc Race has something for everyone!

I'm going to be using a great app to get ready for it - Couch to 5k Workout. I started using this app last summer...I'm a great starter...I can start with the best of them, but continuing and subsequent finishing...now that is where I fall short. The app alternates walking and running continuing to lengthen the time that you run until you are able to completely run a 5k in 9 weeks. I'll be posting my progress.

WISH ME LUCK!

Oh!!! My first pick-up for the CSA at Stones Throw Farm is this Saturday!! I'm so excited. I will definitely be posting pics of all the goodies.
