My husband (Bryan) and I are really excited. These are the first events that we'll be participating in.
The Memory Walk that we're attending is a three mile walk. No big deal for us because we walk all the time for family exercise. It's relaxing. We're excited to do it for a good cause. Donations are welcome. If I raise $100, I'll receive a t-shirt from the walk! This cause is personal for me. My husband and I are walking for a couple of very special family members of mine. We want to do our part to raise awareness and further Alzheimer's research.
The Navy 5 miler was kinda sprung on me at the last minute...thanks honey! I say last minute because I've only got about 3 weeks to get my lungs adjusted to running longer periods of time. Asthma stinks. It really does. I'm not gonna let it hold me back though. I want to get my name on the scoreboard. In order for me to do that, I must finish the run in 90 minutes or less. I ran/walked the 5 miles for the first time today on a treadmill in 72 minutes! Now, I do understand that running on a treadmill and running on a track are VERY different. I plan to practice on the regular track as well as the treadmill. Wish me luck, it's not going to be easy.
