5K for real this time

I had entertained the thought a few times, running a 5K, but usually think about it 5 days before the race.  The one time I was semi-serious about it, I hurt my knee walking up to the track.  I can accomplish this though, and how proud I would be!  There is a Couch to 5K program that takes 8 weeks to complete.  The race I have wanted to run in for years is 7 weeks away on March 13th.  At that point, I should be up to 2.75 miles.  I think I could push myself the extra 0.25 mile!  Lets do this!  Starting today- Week One!  Go time!
