Growing up in Chicagoland, when it was cold, we went inside and warmed up. In college, I learned that people in Boulder, Colorado just put more layers on and went for a run. My senior year, I partnered with a friend and started my training to run a 5k… while I admit, we walked a lot, I was able to run/walk my first race: the Breast Cancer 5k in Downtown Denver.
As the years have passed, I strayed away from my running habits and ran a few Turkey Trots, but always took longer than 45mins.
This year, I have committed to run the Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot on Thanksgiving morning. Since I would like to eventually do this in under 40mins (?) I have started a ‘regimented’ training program. It is for running-weenies like me and started with a 10-minute brisk walk, hah! My goal is to run every time it says to, without missing a date hoping that on Thanksgiving morning I can meet my goal of 40mins. I figured by sharing this on our blog, I would be committed. ***gulp***
So, if you like, please check out my running “programme” and cheer me on (I am at week #2 as of today). If you are interested in running with me, you can sign up for the 2007 Dan Gibbons Turkey Trot. I would be honored to run in your dust!
