DH and I have grown tired of our pasty, flabby bodies and have started doing the couch to 5K program. (BTW, for anyone doing this, the iphone app is a must.) Since I'm goal-oriented (and cheap), I was searching for a 5K to run in the fall. I figured if I had a race to work toward and had already spent the cash to register, I would be more likely to stick with it. Even if it's only $30, its just not in me to pay for something and then not do it. So that's my new exercise plan. We'll see how it works out. Right now, I'm feeling muscles I forgot I had and my calves burn like they're on fire when I run. (I wonder if this has something to do with spending most of my day in heels, so my muscles just aren't used to walking in a flat shoe for an extended period. Or maybe it's just because I don't run. Ever.)
Anyway, when I was looking for a race, I found The Great Urban Race. This looks like so much fun and it benefits St. Jude's! It's not so much a footrace as an Amazing Race-type challenge, with clues and trivia and obstacles. What we lack in brawn, we make up for in brains and geekiness (we rock Trivial Pursuit, and our geocaching experience should help out) so this is perfect for us. And it's something we can do with PS--she loves this kind of stuff. I'm so excited about doing this!
