Tomorrow is the day

The company I work for hosts a charity 5K every year.  The 2 previous years I have thought wow that would be cool to be able to do something like that.  Well this year I am doing it, this time last year I was 60 pounds heavier and lucky to walk to my car without getting winded.  This year I have a new life, I do more than 5K almost every morning granted I don't run the full thing yet but I am working towards it.

Keeping up with fluids at work is difficult so tomorrow I am going on the timer to make sure I get my fluids and am hydrated since the 5K is after work.

Step 1 do a 5K
Step 2 run a 5K

I have a way to go but at least I have finally been given the chance to start.
