Color me Rad 5k!

I signed up for a 5k...the Color Me Rad Run.

I am so not a runner by any means but I want to try. So to that end I signed up for this run and am starting Couch to 5K.

Sophie loves going for a jog so this will be a good way to get us out the door! She won't join me at the race but she will be a good training partner :-D

So today is our first day of the Couch to 5K...wish me luck!

PS: Yellow labby is still available...2 weeks and counting! Fingers and toes are crossed. We have a tentative May 4th meet up date set if he is still available.

One of my goals for this year is to complete the Couch to 5K program. My younger sister is in town visiting and is also working on the program. We decided to go for a workout yesterday and I decided to bring Sophie along.

I know Sophie is much faster than I am but she is usually content to walk quickly next to me as I try to run.

Not so much yesterday. She was doing a great job of walking briskly and leaving slack on her leash. Well at one point she got tired of our slow pace, turned her head and grabbed her leash in the middle. Then proceed to start to run and try to pull me along. There was no jumping like she used to do as a puppy when she wanted to play. It was a grab and pull as if to say "OMG hurry up already!"

My sister was a few feet ahead and we caught up to her with Sophie's technique. My sister and those around us were very entertained. I couldn't stop laughing. She finally slowed down when we caught up to my sister. Then she went back to a brisk walk.
