Running toward the goal

So, inspired by my good friend Brandy and the realization that my dedication to exercise was waning, I decided I needed a goal. I thought training for a 5K might be just the thing. So I went over to Hal Higdon’s site (recommended by an extreme runner I work with) and checked out some training plans for getting ready for these blessed events. And then I went searching for a 5K to run so that I would have an actual event to work toward. So the possibility is that I will run—cover your mouths and gasp!—not a 5K, but an 8K on June 14 for Nashville Public Television. I haven’t paid the fee yet, but I’m seriously considering doing this.

What say ye?
