I don't think I've ever mentioned here (though it's all over Facebook), but I started attempting a couch to 5k about 2 years ago. Or perhaps the better terminology is started, then restarted, again and again and again. Something clicked in January though (perhaps the terror of hitting 40?) and I've stuck with it for 9 months. I did my first 5k in June, and my second last week, which was a cross-country trail run, and I'm debating signing up for a third that will be Canadian Thanksgiving.

I'm not fast, I'll never be fast. I'm not thin, and if I'm ever thin you'll know I'm ill with something horrible, but I'm running, and right now that's awesome. Below is the pic Derek took of me at the finish of last weekend's cross country, the Pace for the Donkey's in support of the Guelph Donkey Sanctuary. You can't tell from the picture, but that is a nasty uphill, and I'm only running because I could see Derek had the camera pointed at me. :)
