New Year, New Me- So Cliche!

Well here it is, January 1, 2012 and I am one of a billion people attempting to start the year off new and improved. 
For the past couple of years I have been yapping about wanting to become a runner.  In 2010 I trained to run a 5k.  In April I did it in about 33 minutes!  Felt great!  And then I got lazy and stopped.
My sister has signed up to run a 8k this April so I am taking the challenge of doing it with her!
Which brings us back to today, “the new me”, and what I need to do to make this happen…
Step 1- Start blog about my progress to keep me accountable- check!
Step 2- Sign up for the race.  Gulp!  I don’t want to lose my $45 if don’t make it to the race!
Step 3- Get off my butt and just run. Easier said than done today since I am fighting a cold and can’t breathe!
Well I will be adding to this list as I learn really what I need to do so I can run an 8k.
Please help encourage me on this journey!!
