Day 5
ibuprofen: 400 mg so far
Hello!
Today, my husband and daughter and I all participated in a 5K event to benefit our local zoo. I say "participated" because my husband ran, I walked and our little one rode in a stroller. It was forecast to rain this morning, but the weather was glorious - beautiful sunshine, cool, and a little breeze. We also got to visit the zoo after, so we went and took a look at the reptiles and penguins until the little one lost patience.
It took me longer to finish the 5K than I would have liked, but I was pushing the stroller most of the way. We don't yet have one of those dandy jogging strollers, so things were not as speedy as they might have been. I just keep telling myself that the point is to get out there and do something, and finish - not necessarily to do a certain time. There will come a point in this training (soon, I think!) when I have to worry more about time, but today it was mostly just to get out there.
And it was fun! I hope that our baby grows up thinking that athletic things are fun, not work!

I am a regular, previously not terribly athletic, plus-size woman who is training for a half marathon. Come see how I am doing, and hopefully I can encourage you in your goals as well!

Ok, now I'm starting to feel lazy. :-) I start kick-boxing and you start training for a triathlon. I'm also impressed that "husband" (since you haven't mentioned his name yet - I've read enough blogs to know not to reveal anything the blogger hasn't, and there are way too many idiots out there) ran the 5K. The swimming part would kill me, since I've never been much good at it.
Anyway, wife and I are very proud of you.
