Why don't you....

Try a 10k!

This looks like a good one: http://www.marinemarathon.com/weekend_events/10k.htm

I just might be doing it....don't you want to join me? Hey, hey?

Signing up for a race, even if you don't want to do it at the moment or think you can't, is a great way to motivate yourself. The last thing you want is to be unprepared, so by having a goal set, you are giving yourself a reason to get up and run. If you've never done a race before, don't worry! They are designed to be easy for both beginners and veterans.

Don't be put off by fees either - they allow you to have food and a new t-shirt and water during the race...not to mention a goodie bag!


OOPS...just realized that the 10k isn't until October! Which is after our race! Doesn't help much I guess...so why not aim higher and go for a half marathon in May: http://www.marinecorpshistorichalf.com/Home.htm? Even if you have to walk, it will be a great experience!

Basically what I'm saying is....find a race, sign up, and use it as a training tool!
