Time to Train for a 5k!

One of my goals for the new year was to get my bum knee back into shape and run a 5k, so I decided to sign up for "Color Me Rad." And so far my hubby, sister-in-law, and 7 other friends have signed up, it will be a fun thing for us to do together! For those of you who don't know what color me rad is, it's a 5k where the runners are required to wear all white and are decorated in different colors at different marks in the race, at the end of the race you look like a rainbow!

I started training for the run a week ago and surprisingly am running better than I ever have! I bought this tape called "KT tape" to tape my knee, and so far no pain and works 10x's better than my brace. I started last Saturday running 1.4 miles, and today I am up to 2.05. I can see why people love running so much, each mile is a challenge and after the run I always think of how much farther I want to run next time. It has already become my new favorite thing to do! Maybe sometime in the future I can run the Disney marathon! I need to take baby steps and focus on my 5k first. Looking for more 5k's to sign up for in 2013.
