Affiliate Fatblogging: Training to Run a 5k

I just recently got new running shoes and hit the track for the first time yesterday.

I am trying to work up my stamina, so I am starting out alternating quarter miles with jogging and walking for a total of three miles.

My goal is to run a 5k in my town in a few weeks. It’s taking place Sunday, July 12, so I have incentive to become a runner. I just signed up.

I’ve noticed there are a lot of 5ks and 10k in my area, so I want to make this a new thing. Maybe then I can replace all of my goofy Internet t-shirts with 5k t-shirts.

I am still working in swimming, elliptical, etc., and I need to find a bike trail, too.

Starting weight: 225
Last week: 218
This week: 218
