But Good For You!


 
So I've noticed these number stickers on cars recently but I didn't understand what the point of them was.  Then I figured it out.  26.2 is a Marathon, 13.1 is a Half-Marathon, 10K, and 5K are races.  So they are bragging stickers for runners.  Ok, that's pretty cool. Well today I found a sticker for me:

 
LOL!  This totally cracks me up!  So no, I am not a runner, obviously, but I have recently been inspired by a few friends and relatives who have recently picked up the sport and started doing 5K races.  I think that is pretty awesome.  And I've been toying with the idea of trying this for myself and turned to the internet to do some research.  Here is my progress so far:
  • Got Inspired - already mentioned that
  • Set an ambiguous goal to run a 5K "sometime next fall"
  • Emailed myself an article titled "Couch To 5K"
  • Pinned a similar article on Pinterest
  • Looked at an iPhone App that will help with that goal (did not download)
  • Bought a moisture wicking purple shirt to wear while training
  • Looked at running shoes
Baby steps, people, baby steps!  Trust me, just THINKING about running is progress for me!
