We have our first 5k of the year Saturday.  It's supposed to be a very hilly course on UNCC campus.  Should be a challenging run and definitely not a PR time! I'm doing well with hitting the gym and staying active.  Not doing well with running.  I've run on a couple Sunday afternoons but Tue & Thur am's I've napped after getting the boy up and then walked on the treadmill inside rather than run in the cold and/or rain outside.  For me the hardest step is the first one out the door for a run especially in the dark early morning hours.
