Smoke on the Water 5K

My first run or should I saw walk is this Saturday.  My friends and I will be going to the festival on Saturday enjoying the day but first I have to conquer the running event.  Getting up at 6 am on a Saturday is not my idea of starting a fun filled day but I am proud that I decided to do it simply because I have never done a running event before.
I did not realize how many 5K running events there are but it is definitely a trend because no matter where you go on a weekend in Georgia, there is a 5K taking place somewhere.
Thanks to the encouragement of my friends and family I have kept on going. I give myself some credit but its the encouragement if I have gotten from the people closest to me that have helped me the most.

I hope that I am like many who are trying to lose weight or have succeeded in losing weight that have had days or even a week where they did not feel like going to the gym but went anyway because that is how I felt this week. I do know that if I didn't I would be that much less prepared for this upcoming weekend's 5K run.
