Back in January I started on a weight loss/get in better shape journey. A few weeks later a friend suggested we try our hand at running - enter the Couch to 5K app - took 8 weeks of training but I did it and can now run 5K. We decided we needed a run to work towards, like magic a groupon appeared way back in early March for something called Run or Dye. It is an untimed, all for fun 5K - what better way to get started in the world of 5Ks?? So we signed up. Fast forward to last week, the friend who started this whole process quit and bailed on training a couple of months ago - me, I kept going and asked my neighbor Tina to do it with me instead. What a blast. The fact that I worked towards it and did it is a bigger reward than I could ever have hoped for. We are already planning our outfits for next years run when we will take both our families with us instead of having them wait for us at the finish. Although, waiting for us they seemed to get more colour on them than we did!!
