Getting in Gear

I am very excited to announce that I've signed up for my first 5K run since my back surgery. I will be running the American Cancer Society Run on April 11th. I know I know, its only 3.1 miles but I used to run these all the time and haven't been able to run one since last June because of the pain in my leg and back.



I'm still debating on whether to do Crazy Legs this year....its 5 miles. There's a big difference between 3 and 5 miles, let me tell ya. I have been able to run quite well on the treadmill recently so i'm definitely thinking about just doing it.

Anyway, I'm excited about it so I thought i'd share my good news. I wasn't sure i'd be able to run again after my surgery. Everyone kept telling me not to run blah blah....but I just started back slow and now here I am able to run my 3 miles no problem.



Wish me luck! I had my best two times ever the last two races I ran before the pain in my leg took over so I think this will be a good gage of where i'm at running-wise! If anyone wants to join me just let me know...its fun :)
