First awesome choice of the year

In talking to some friends recently, the thought of signing up for some races locally has been brought up several times.  So... I got on the internet and searched for some local races in the 5k distance department to "break" myself into the whole running gig.  My first race?  A 5K held on February 4th in Virginia Beach.  Oh buddy will it be cold, but I am determined to do it.  Starting tomorrow I am going to start training for it and really hope to see myself finish with a really decent time.  No, I will not be running a marathon by the end of  the year.  I honestly have no desire to EVER run a marathon.  I may at most decide upon a half marathon at some point.  I mostly just want to have fun and get people to join me in my quest for fitness.  My dream since being in college has been to become a personal trainer.  I have always really loved the health field and wanted a skill I could use for my family as well.  The first step in becoming a personal trainer is to start LOOKING like a personal trainer.  In training for several races over the next 12 months (of varying lengths) I will be coming closer to that goal.  Any and all who want to join me.... here is the link.
