First 2K Fun Run- Cookie Chaser

This morning Camille, my daughter, woke me up early to go to Riverton, Utah where we walked the 2K Cookie Chaser fun run. It was a fundraiser for the Girl's Scouts. As a former Girl Scout myself I thought it would be a good starting place. There were lots of mothers there with strollers and I felt like I fit in with that group. The highlight was being with the Jazz Bear. Getting my picture taken, pulling his tail, and getting a high five from him. It must have been hot to run in that outfit. I was really nervous that I would not be able to complete the race before they closed it up. Instead I was not last place and improved my mile time from 26 minutes for one mile to 20 minutes for a 2K which is a little longer. SO I am improving. Plus later in the day I went over to the school track and walked another mile so that my total steps for the day was 7500. Next week I was hoping to increase my walking steps to 10,000 but I think that 8,000 would be a better goal. On May 15th I am scheduled to try a 5K for the Law School Fun Run at the University of Utah. I need to pick up the pace to get to that point. I am using the C25K plan- which is Couch to 5K plan online. I hope to post a few photos here.
