Race Day Approaches

What a long and crazy summer!!!  I injured my knee with a patella tendon strain 3 weeks into my 5k training.  I had to take a few weeks off, get knee braces and start again slowly.....BUT I DID!   I have not yet finished the progam, but I continue to work at it.  I know have a gym membership and attempt to get there 2-3 nights a week after my daughter goes to bed.  This is a good thing for my relationship, as it gives me time to do something for my and my husband time to decompress with some Borderlands 2 or whatever he wants that evening.

The "BIG RACE" is this Saturday and I had every intention of running it to the best of my ability, but my Mother is coming to visit and she wants to walk it....I don't know if I want to just leave her behind.  She and I will have to discuss this, as I would like to see if I can better my time from my first run.

Either way, I am excited!  I am going to finish the 5k trainer and continue to train.  The goal is to run an "ENTIRE" 5k...so I have a ways to go, but I am enjoying the journey!
