Tonight I attended a social hosted by the Austin chapter of Black Girls Run (BGR). It was a lot of fun and I was able to get fitted an have a run test for a new pair of running shoes. Did I need them...no...did I get them...yes. The reason being is my running is increasing and I will need to break those bad boys in before my first race. BTW...I've signed up for 2 5k's and I have the Austin 10/20 which is a 10 mile race with 20 bands set up along the route. It's going to be fun. Let's just hope I'm ready.
Our social was a kick off to our C25K program. It's great having a group to train with if the mood so strikes me. It won't because they usually run on Saturday morning and that is the only morning I can actually sleep in.
The event was held at a local fitness store. I did get a great sports bra tonight. I'm so glad, because my last one is way to big. I also finally broke down and purchased a heart rate monitor. I can't wait to see the difference it has on my activity level. The treadmills at my job have a program that allows you to sync your heart rate monitor to the treadmill so it will automatically increase the speed or slow it down based on your target heart rate. Awesome!!!

I will be running my first 5K in April. WTG.
I love the idea of the 10/20! I so want to do that one day!
Nice to see that you have so many races lined up. Good Luck!
Ha ha. Your bra was too big. That made me laugh thinking about those girls popping out on the run. Have fun. And keep on running.
I want a treadmill that syncs to your heart rate monitor! That's so awesome!! Great job on signing up for two races. I still need to do that!
