In which I Get Lucky.

I am not an active person, never have been. I hope to be someday and have taken a giant step in that direction this weekend. I participated in and finished my first 7K! Several weeks ago I decided to sign up for the St. Patrick's Day Get Lucky 7K that was being held in my area. This was something I was going to do to prove that I could start and finish something physical.
It turns out not only did I finish, but I also completely enjoyed challenging myself. This was something completely new to me. I had never chosen to challenge myself physically before!
While I am sore, and have been for the past couple days, I find myself with a new addiction that is actually good for me! Most of my...okay make that ALL of my past addictions have been food, movies, tv, or reading. I have never had such a great time engaging in an activity that is healthy for me!
I am now looking forward to doing several more 5Ks that are peppered throughout the rest of the year. The two I am seriously looking into at this point are the Women Rock, and the Monster Dash. I would also like to find one that benefits animals and get involved with that one.
My goal over the next few months is to up my 5K time so I can start to try to best myself! Woohoo!
