This is the stuff that....makes us sweat!
So by now if you have been paying attention to our Facebooks and Twitter you probably have noticed that we started training for a 5K this week. Yes, you read that correctly.... a 5K!!!!!!!!
3.1 miles - here we come! Many people have asked us "Why on Earth would anyone want to run, much less pay to run?" Well, besides the obvious health benefits, we think its a great life accomplishment, a great adventure, something to cross off the bucket list and I get to do it all with my best friend. Sara and I are huge bucket list fans!
Our original plan was to participate in the Disney Princess Race but by the time we made that plan we realized that the race was already full, and it costs about $125 plus you have to pay for Disney admission. We both want to run a 5K but to be honest neither of us want to pay that much to run!
Here we are, about 3 months later training for our 5K! Details include:
What: Carillion Classic 5K Run and Walk
Date: May 25, 2013
Where: Bok Tower, FL
Our first week of training has gone well. We haven't died yet anyways! We have both discovered the need for good running shoes and how "shoe weight" makes the difference. We have become pros at mastering the "after workout" look, managing accidental emergency stops while running on the treadmill and realizing that having a conversation while running a 5K might be impossible!
Overall we are both super excited to be embarking on this adventure together, and making unforgettable memories in the little time we have left before we have to go our separate ways in the fall for college..
Wish us luck!
Your sweaty, determined, adventure ready Hannah and Sara!
