My goal

I have set the goal for myself to run in the Red Bud Classic, which is a 5k race in April. In other words, I have 4 months to learn to run 3 miles. I have never run that distance and in fact, have only run in the last two years when facing death by oncoming traffic while crossing Western and when it was 20 degrees and I wasn't smart enough to bring a jacket with me to Target. I drone on about athleticism all the time but this is a tangible goal and while it feels mostly like a bad idea, it is something I have always wanted to do. Stand at that starting line and know I can make it to the end without the intermittent ambulance ride along the way. I will get back with you in April and let you know if I have become the master runner. Having just ate an ice cream cone and now sitting on the couch typing, there is a chance I may have overshot my capability. We shall see...
