This past October (2009), I walked my first 5k, The Komen Race for the Cure 5K Walk/Run. I never thought I could do a 5K, but I did it, even though it was walking. One of my goals for 2010 is to run The Komen 5K Race this year. As many of you know, my step-dad's mom is currently battling breast cancer. So the Komen Foundation means a lot to me. To accomplish this goal, I plan on joining the running group in March/April (depending when it begins) in the Ballantyne Corporate Park, in addition to going to the gym and running the green way at least once a week.
I also would like to walk The Cooper River Bridge 10K. I know you are probably thinking, "Is this girl crazy?! She is going from a 5K to a 10K?!" Well, my thoughts are ... I have only been to Charleston once and I absolutely fell in love with it for the short time I was there. I figured the 10K Cooper River Bridge Walk/Run will be a great way for me to see Charleston as well as get in some great exercise. Plus! This year the Cooper River Bridge Race is in March, which puts Charleston around 60ish in temperature (at least that is what I was told by a Charleston expert) which makes it perfect for walking and running. Not to mention, I have a few friends that live in Charleston that I would love to see. I am hoping to get a group of friends together to go. I am thinking/hoping it will be a great experience. If you're interested in joining me and/or my friends for the Cooper River Bridge Walk/Run shoot me an e-mail. The more the merrier!
LET THE TRAINING BEGIN!
