My First 5K Planned

I have always wanted to be a runner but at my weight it is hard. This September there is a 5K that I am SO excited about. It is the Color Me Rad in St. George. This one is where you get sprayed with colored cornstarch. We are trying to get a team from work together to do it with me. I need to do everything I can now to get ready for it. Some co-workers want to just walk it, which is fine, but I think it would be a great accomplishement if I could run it. I will let you know how it goes.
