I've decided to try out this 5k with one of my friends on June 21st.  I used to do these with my dad when I was younger, so they always make me a bit sentimental.

I'm completely out of shape, though, so I need to get to work on training.  I haven't completed a 5k since I graciously volunteered my husband and I for the Salt Lake Marathon (5k portion) four years ago.  You would have thought I was forcing him to drink rat poison.

Example:
ME:  "Let's just run to this light and then we can walk a block."
DAN:  "Megan, do you want me to have a heart attack?  I swear to you, I'm going to die right here."
ME:  "You won't die.  Just a little further."
DAN:  "I will seriously die and leave you a widow and then you will finally feel bad for making me do this."  (If Little H had been born, I'm sure she would have figured into the guilt factor.)

Well, that's my side of the story.  To his credit, Dan did finish in really good time, and we hadn't been training at all.  I would love for him to join me again, but the decision must be of his own free will and accord.  I just can't live with all that risk hanging over my head.

Here's an example of the exercise schedule we're using (keep in mind, I have to start on week 3):

        

Anyone out there want to join us?  Here is the link to register, and let me know if I can expect you there.  The gauntlet has been thrown down...
