It's official

I am signed up to run the 5K on July 12. Leif is going to run with me and be my moral support.

And I ran 3 times this last week in preparation. The first two times I ran on the treadmill, and the third time I ran outside. And let me say, it's harder to run outside, especially if you don't have music to listen to. So I think I'll need to do most of my training outside, at least once, preferably twice a week. The run is in 2 weeks and I need to be able to run 3 miles by then. My goal is to run it in 30 minutes. When I ran outside yesterday I ran 2 miles (with a couple walking breaks no more than a block each time) in 20 minutes, so I'm already running a 10 minute mile, I just need to extend the run by a mile.

So that's my exercise for the next 2 weeks. At least 3 runs a week, hopefully outside as often as possible.
