5K Run

I am signed up to do a 5K run that I saw advertised through our church bulletin. It is put on by Martha & Mary Ministries, a Catholic based non-profit that helps with end of life care. It is a subject near and dear to my heart because of the time I spent with the Hospice and Palliative Care teams in Bozeman as a student. This is their mission:

The mission of Martha & Mary Ministries is to promote dignity at end of life through compassionate, competent care and presence, spiritual support and community education that helps people become less afraid of dying and more hopeful.

If you are curious to learn more this is their web-site: http://www.marthamaryministries.org/index.html

The run is September 26th so I need to start training!!! I have not run regularly in quite a few years. It is kind of sad; I remember when doing a 5K cold turkey would be pretty easy for me...not so sure anymore! I have to buy running shoes this week so I can start my training. As long as I get a couple of weeks in it should be okay..painful probably but doable:0)
