5K

There is a 5k taking place basically right outside my door in a few weeks. Since I am semi-doing the couch to 5k program I decided to get a baseline to gauge my progress. So I took the route map for the upcoming race and walked the 5k this morning. It took me 45 minutes. I think less than 15 minutes per mile is quite brisk! So there is my starting point, and even though I'm not necessarily going to get to the point where I'll run a whole 5k, it will be interesting to see what kind of progress I can make in a few weeks.
So far today I have 9800 steps and I hope to get a couple thousand more by pulling Emily to and from the park in her wagon...and then to get a frozen coffee drink :-p
