I have two 10K's I have registered for and I would really like to register for more races this season so I need to get my butt in gear! I will update my training plan every week so keep myself accountable and stay on track.
"No matter how slow you go, you are still lapping everybody on the couch." Love this quote. I really just want to run the whole 10K, but at the same time, I don't want to come in last so I'm going to get a move on!

Since it's Thursday and I'm just starting (whoops!) I'm going to add on an extra mile or so to today's training. I'm excited!
