We have moved from Sandy to the Daybreak area of South Jordan. The access to walking trails is fabulous. So in keeping with an active lifestyle, I have begun the training for a 5K. I have had knee surgery so this project may not be completed but I am giving it a go even if I have to do it walk/jog to complete it.
I have a friend in the Phoenix area who is doing this challenge along with me. She is in considerably better shape though. The challenge that I am following is from the Running Planet website. It is the 8-week program for beginning runners developed by Rick Morris. In 8 weeks, I should be able to run 2 miles without stopping. After that, my goal is to add a quarter mile to each week until I can run 3 miles. Once I can run 3 miles without stopping, I will work on speed. If my knee just cannot tolerate the running, I will purchase a bike. If everything is ok, I will sign up for a 5K.
I do not have insurance so hopefully I do not seriously injure myself in this endeavor.
