What have I gotten myself into?

The last time that I physically ran was probably about 2 years ago. Well, ran as a form of exercise on a regular basis. I had started to run with my niece Ashley in mornings before she would go to school and I would go to work. 5 am started to come around too quickly, and even with the best of intentions, our runs faded to nothing. Saturday I was approached with the question of "Would you consider..." and the next thing you know, I had agreed to walk at a healthy pace for the RunRock'nRoll in Philadelphia. It looks as though every mile to mile and a half there is a stage set up with local bands. I have to say, of all the things that I have agreed to, this scares me, and excites me just the same. 

Melissa (my cohort) and I will begin training tomorrow, 5/30/12. For now, it is set that we will be meeting at least 2 times per week to stay on a training schedule. Hopefully, we stick to it. The goal is to walk 3 miles tomorrow to test ourselves. I've done fundraiser 5k walks, so I'm confident with this start. But we'll see. Only time will tell how much I hate myself for agreeing to this.
