Potato to 5k in 5.5 weeks

Ok, yeah. I am trying to go from potato to 5k. I know. Not too bad, but I only have 5 1/2 weeks to do it! Biggest Loser can do it so I can too, right? Well, ok, so I don't work out 6 hours a day and I don't have somebody buying my food for me, but I should be able to figure it out. I went for my first "run" on Friday. My goal was to make 1/4 mile in the race pace time. I did, but it was tough. I ran today. My goal for this week is 1/2 a mile at race pace. Well, I did it! Again, I was dying! I have been home for 30 minutes now and am doing pretty good; that is a good sign. I only have to suffer for 3.1 miles, wait 3 hours to feel better.....oh boy! It will get better, right? I have to think so. Well, my next run is Wednesday and I am so glad I don't have to run tomorrow!

I thought I would just find a fun cartoon on the web, but then it was actually super fun to draw one myself. Hope you like it!
