In an effort to lose weight and improve my endurance and general health, I started running about six months ago. I have a running friend who encouraged me to do a race with him, which I agreed to on the stipulation that he come skating with me once!
The race is this weekend and I'm nervous and excited! It's just a 5k, but maybe next time I'll be strong enough for the 8k. Can't believe I'll be one of those people with a number strapped to their back!
Just had to share my excitement!
