We've been "training" for a little over a month now and will be running a 5k on May 26th. We've talked about doing this for a while, but wanted to wait for the warm weather. Despite the abundance of races in Cville, we couldn't find one that worked with our schedule...so we will be running the 5th Annual 5k Run/Walk for Autism in Richmond. We aren't getting too ambitious. We have friends who do marathons, and my cousin and her husband do mountain running. We are just starting out with the 5k and may work up to a longer race once we see how it goes. I(R) did some 5ks years ago - the good old Messiah College Love Run. However, it's been a while since either of us has run, so we don't have great hopes of winning or placing. My goal is just to finish in under 45 minutes, since that is how long they will record times! Since it's a Run/Walk, we feel like there will have to be some people slower than us! I have really enjoyed running again and it's something that we can do together. We usually go to the gym separately because our schedules are so different. So, on top of running a race and supporting autism, we are bonding-how sweet. We'll let you know how it goes.

Hey! You know that's right around the corner from us!! We should be around that weekend (unless we find cheap tickets to attend a wedding in OK) so we'll try and come cheer you on!
