I just signed up for a 5K...
... that is on Sunday.
That's the least amount of notice I've ever given myself when it comes to running a race. Plus, I haven't done a 5K since April, 2009.
Wow.
So on Sunday, I will be running the Jingle Bell 5K. You may recall that eons ago, back when I first started running, and still lived in Illinois, I ran the Jingle Bell 5K with my mom. It was my mom's first 5K ever (yay!).
The nice thing about this race is it's in the afternoon. I don't have to miss church, and I don't have to wake up too early. This makes Kelly a happy girl.
The most important question of all is: am I ready?
The answer is undoubtedly "no".
But I'm okay with that. I just started to get back into the swing of things recently, so this race will act as a training run. I'm not going to aim for a PR or anything. I'm not even going to set a goal time. I'm just going to go out there, do my best, and have fun.
I'll be back next week with a race report and an update on my weight loss efforts!

Cool! I might be sending in my registration for the Galloping Gobler today :)
P.S. Can you shoot me an email? I can't find your email address on here and there's been something I've been wanting to tell you!!
