One thing I have always wanted to do was to run in the Freihofer Run for Women. Mind you, I had NEVER run in my entire life - though this race was on what I like to call my "Big Life List" as I refuse to have a "Bucket List."



So one day I decided, and don't ask me why, I said that this will be the year. I downloaded (for the umpteenth time) the "Couch to 5K" running program - but this time I meant it. And I did it.



I started the 3 times a week workout with more walking than running (and a lot of huffing and puffing and sweating), but then I got to liking running. And for someone like me, every time I went to the gym or a trail, it was a new personal best - I was actually running.



The 9 week program was perfect - the last workout timed out to be race day. I was so excited. I was ready. Along the way I had gotten on of my clients/friends/attorney to run with me and she signed up. Then I found out my banker was running. We three non-runners ran and cheered each other on and had a really fabulous experience.



I can't say enough about going out and doing something and living life to the fullest.



Have I run since - NAH! But I will. We three non-runners have signed up for our next 5K in July.



Better get running!
