Countdown to the 8k

The countdown is on...12 days till I run my first 8k!

I am feeling really good about it and I've been working hard to get ready. Last week I ran on Monday (2.5 miles), Thursday (3.5 miles) and Saturday (4 miles). The only bad thing was that I had to run them all on the treadmill at the gym. It is so cold at the moment, but it's not really the cold keeping me inside, it's the ice. I have a hard enough time not falling down just running on pavement...ice and running just don't sound like a good combo to me! I'm hoping to get out in the next couple of days to get used to being outside again.

I have a 5 mile run on the schedule for this Saturday and then I should be ready to run the 8k (8k is just about 5 miles). I have no goal other than to finish the race (and to not fall on my face!).

And then...let the half marathon training begin!!!
