Being a busy working mom I often find myself finding time for everyone else except myself.  So I decided that I would commit to doing a blog. I would love for you to follow me on my journey to participating in a 5K. We can laugh, cry and motivate each other. The particular program I am going to follow can be found at: http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml.

Since this program is 9 weeks long, I went to a website of a local store we have in Kalamazoo, called Gazelle Sports (www.gazellesports.com). They have a schedule of local events and ALL kinds of training information for all levels of athletes. I choose to do the Consumers Sunburst Run:  http://www.gazellesports.com/events/20130420/5092-consumers-sunburst-run-oshtemo-mi.html. This run is local and fits into my busy Spring schedule. I have a son who plays travel baseball, so available Spring Saturday mornings are hard to come by.

I would love for you to follow me on my journey and for you to share your thoughts, trials and tribulations as we muddle our way through this together!
