Today I met with Coach Alan and he reviewed a basic game plan for my training. We are starting out slowly, which honestly is the only way I can start, so it works for me. He's sending me a schedule to follow tonight and it will be a walk/run schedule. I just learned that that means you walk for an amount of time and then you run for an amount of time and so on. I'm a little concerned about timing myself and not turning my ankle on a pothole or a liquor bottle. People who drive through my neighborhood love to throw bottles out of their car windows. I guess no one taught them that they shouldn't throw anything out of their car window that a bird can't make its nest out of or at least that is what my uncle always said. Maybe he just liked to litter.
Anyway, I think I am going to wear my TNT (Team in Training) t-shirt while I'm training. Women's running shirts just don't fit over my ample bosoms and the men's shirts are crew neck. I have to say, most women over the age of 45, do NOT want to wear anything around their necks while working out. We are in a perpetual state of heat hitting us at any given moment. Do you hear me Nike, Adidas, Reebok etc..?
Enough about my train wreck of a body.
I'm very nervous and excited about this 5k. I want to succeed, not only for myself, but for anyone going through a crappy illness and for those of us who have survived. I just have to do this. I'm not even starting this venture from ground level, I'm more in the bargain basement. Holy crap! I must be out of my mind.
