Nobody's Even Chasing Me!

I've tried several times over the past few years to take up running again (I ran in high school & the beginning of college) but it hadn't worked out until this most recent effort.  I think all the additional cardio work (read: Zumba) has helped.

I'm doing a beginner 5K program, and I'm still walking more than running. But my pace per mile has been slowly coming down. I started the year with a 5K. (No, really, it was New Year's Day!) and I'm registered for another on March 1st. I'm planning for 1 in April and 2 in May as well. Then, hopefully, on to a 10K. 

The tentative race calendar is this:

• 3/1, 5K
• 4/5, 5K
• 5/3, 5K
• 5/10, 5K
• 6/14, 10K!!
• 8/23, 8K (Yeah, I know that's backwards, but I can't help that the 10K I want to do is scheduled earlier!)
• 10/4, 5K
• 11/9, 5K
• 11/29, 10-miler (or 5-miler, if I'm not ready)
• 12/9, 8K

I won't say I've actually been bitten by the running bug, but I really appreciate how easy it is to measure progress.   I'll be posting my progress here (along with Runkeeper, Facebook, Fitocracty, Twitter...)
