Let's Get Physical

So I've been training to run the Cowtown race next month since the beginning of January and so far it's been interesting. I am not a runner by any means but I workout on a regular basis (about 3-4 times a week) and have done that for a couple of years. I used to have a bit of a mental block with running but I seem to have gotten over that and I'm now enjoying the days when running is part of my workout.

I found a great training schedule that's 8 weeks and made to train for a 10k and has me in the gym 6 days a week. I wasn't sure I'd be able to get into working out everyday but so far I kind of like it. I don't have to run everyday and the weeks/workouts kind of build on each other. I do strength/cross training 3 days and run 3 days with a day of rest on Fridays. It's actually pretty great the way it's set up.

I'm still not sure if I want to run the 10k or the 5k though. I think at the end of this I could run the 5k the whole time and probably have a pretty good time. I think if I go for the 10k I will end up needing to walk a little bit of the way but perhaps I'm underestimating myself. Anyway I'm looking forward to the race at the end of Feb and seeing what happens when I really push myself. I think I may even turn into a runner! The thought of that really excites me.
