5 K training

I signed up for my first 5 K and it will be on June 20th. I am excited and scared at the same time. I don't get the opportunity to run outside very often because I have to stay on campus for my kids to be in child care. I did run outside last night for the first time. I ran with my Dad and I ran 1.5 miles. I walked some to and got a total of 2.7 miles in. As far as the weight goes. It doesn't seem to be coming off as fast as I'd like, but lots of people are beginning to notice my progress, so maybe I'm just a little more critical of myself than I should be. I am running again in the morning with my cousin's wife. I'm sure she'll kick my butt, but I'm gonna do it anyway. I;m meeting her at 6 AM which is earlier than I'm used to, so we'll see.
