I will be running a 5k obstacle course in December. A while off but I already have an issue with my right knee, so I want to get as much weight off before I start the actual running part. It is a ZOMBIE 5k!!!

I added the links below, if anyone want to join me that would be awesome, and they are going to be in several areas this year.

That is awesome!! Running a 5K is one of my goals. I just started the Couch to 5k program (haven't run since high school) and I'm hoping to run my first 5K in the spring. You have inspired me more...Way to Go!!!

I still can't believe you guys did that in the pouring rain!!! WOW! I sat down there with Michelle and debated and decided not to get drenched and headed to the gym instead. You two are our HEROES! Let's plan another one for a sunny day and I'm SO there! Or let's do the trail. . .

Congratulations! I'm so excited for you.I was out running in the rain here in Houston this morning, too. My big race is next week. Fair warning: long distance running can become addictive.
