5k!

I don't know if anyone remembers, but my work is the one of the sponsors for this running thing each year.. I did register for it last year, but then I found out that I was pregnant and never got started on the training for it.. 

This year is another story - the run is scheduled for 11th of May and I really want to try to attend the 5K run.. This means that I have around 3,5 months to get ready for it.. (This is way more time that I had the last time) - and I think I am going to put it as my first fitness goal.. 

I am going to start the C25K program (yet again) and see how it goes.. I was wondering - is anyone else planning to do some sort of running, and maybe wants to start the program with me? (I need all the motivation I can get).. 

Oh and I also e-mail my work - we have the right to get 1500sek that is around 250 dollars from our work for their "stay healthy" sponsorship plan to pay for gym ect. Last year I used it to pay for my lamaze classes.. Anywho - I mailed and asked if they will sponsor and pay for a gym membership while I am on my leave.. So fingers crossed - if I get a positive answer from them I will register to this gym close to out home as well.. I hope to be able to sneak of to it couple of nights while hubby is with the kid (I really need some kid-free time) - so we will see how it goes.. If they don't I will still have the running :)

  5. I started up c25k this week too. I am planning on a 5k for March 16, so a little earlier than yours, and another in September. Even though our races aren't the same time, I'd love to be running buddies.

  6. I absolutely hate running (read: I'm really bad at running)
    Do you know how much I love you? I shall C25K with you :) I'm expecting updates!

    I'm also starting another reboot tomorrow, I know you're still feeding so its not an option right now but I just thought I'd let you know.

    Good luck with the application *fingers crossed* xxx
