I did something new to me tonight.  I registered to participate in a 5K next weekend.  Maybe it’s because I’m facing my 20th high school reunion in a couple of weeks and want to prove to myself that I’m not that old.  Maybe it’s because I am a fierce competitor and heard the word “awards” somewhere along the way.  Maybe it’s because I want to help a good cause with my registration fee.  It’s probably a combination of all of the above, but regardless – I’m left with a dilemma.  Do I walk it or do I try to run?  I am not a runner – but if I run I can walk some too.  If I walk – I can’t run.  Hmmm…  I don’t train.  I don’t work out.  I take occasional evening power walks down the gravel road if that counts for anything though.  I’m leaning towards the walking.  My knees will surely explode if I surprise them with 3.1 miles of running after years without so much as a jog.  Either way, I’m looking forward to it.
