Pre-Hog Jog 5K

Let me reiterate this: I do not enjoy running. Not one little bit. But I really like the "I just finished a 5K!" feeling so that kind of negates the whole running thing. Kind of. It also helps when you're running in a 5K with a group of people that you know. My first ever 5K participation was due to a coworker who decided to round up a group of runners at work & then get the company to sponsor us in a 5K. It's kind of hard to not sign up for a 5K when it's paid for & it's with your friends.

In June, I got another group from work together to run a 2nd 5K. Have you ever run a 5K on a Friday night in the summer? It's hot & muggy & this summer, rainy. 

On Saturday morning, we'll be back at it & will be running the Hog Jog 5K uptown. By running, I mean there will be a combination of walking, jogging, & running going on. I know I won't be breaking any personal records {thanks to overdoing it this past weekend} but I am looking forward to getting back out there. I haven't run a 5K since Jessie & I ran a 5K for our birthdays 8 weeks ago...

At least I'll have good music to listen to?

I have song ADD and tend to listen to the first 30 seconds of a song and get bored and have to switch to another, so my playlists are always longer than my races. I'm dreading the day I hit the end of a playlist before I'm done.

You'll have to check back next week to see how the race goes but here's to finishing in under 30 min!
