This past weekend I was flipping through the local newspaper and found that the Guadalupe County Fair is coming soon. It always comes to town sometime in October. This year it is on the weekend of the 3rd. Each year I like to some way participate in the fair. When I was a Boy Scout we had a concession stand, when I was in high school I marched in the parade, and a couple years ago I entered a photo of mine into the competition. This year however, I’m not in band, or Boy Scouts, and I don’t really have a good photograph from this year, so I needed to look for some other way to participate. When flipping through the county fair section of the paper I saw that there is a 5K run/walk sponsored by the Rotary and Interact clubs of Seguin. Now I’ve never rain any longer than maybe 2 miles, but I thought that this would be a good goal for me to set. So I did.
This year, I’m planning to run in the Guadalupe County Fair’s 5K run. I don’t care if I’m first or last, but just that I finish. I started training yesterday by running just about 1.66 miles. Today I played racquetball for an hour and then ran a mile immediately afterward.
After both days, I feel great; not winded at all. Tomorrow I have work from 8-5 and then a meeting from 5-6 and then a Bible study from 7-9, so I don’t really have any time to work out, but Friday I will pick up again.
I’m real excited about working toward this goal. I’ll try to keep my blog updated as to how each day or week goes as well as with the results of the 5K itself.
