Race Day.

Well I think I finally made it to a race. Tommorow will be my first 5k race. Once that's finished I will have a new goal of finishing a 10k next month. Then training hard for the July half marathon. Yikes! I think I am doing pretty good so far. I just need to keep having the support of my wonderful husband and my sweet daughter who goes on these long walks with me. She does get spoiled while on the walks though. She has so many toys, games and things to do. We also go to the parks and gas stations to buy a treat. She loves that part! I'm pretty sure I could already do a 10k for the distances I have covered so far, but I don't want to hurt myself or just try to hard right away. I think it would be best to get the feel of a race first and then move up from there. All these races do cost money to enter but it's always a fundraiser to a good cause. So I don't run/walk just to improve my overhealth. It's one way to help make a differance. Maybe one day when I get better at these races, I will put together a race for a good cause of my choice and hope to do what I can to help somewhere. I love to run and go for long walks, so why not use that? I'm sure I could think of some clever race title name to perk some interest too.
    I have to laugh at my hubby who does give me some support, but I'm sure he's not the only husband out there thinking this. I had asked him, "should I do the 5k, or the 10k?"   His response, "do the 5k, it will be better for the first race."   Two days later I mentioned to him "I really think I should have signed up for the 10k. I know I can do it."  His response, "The 10k is too long, do you think Heidi will wait for you that long?"  My response, "Is it that Heidi can't wait, or you can't wait for me and you have to watch Heidi for that long."  His response. Oh wait there wasn't one, he just walked away. Ah hah!!! What a wimp.
