Couch Potato to 5k?

My mom has always tried getting me to exercise/work out more. I think that may be on her Top 5 things to do list.

Her most recent attempt?

To get me to run a 5K.

If you know me, you know I don't like to run. Hate it. Abhor it. Think that Satan invented it to torture me.

Yep, that sums it up.

But there has always been a small (albeit, very small) part of me that want to be a runner. Nope, not even kidding. What would it be like to run non stop for a whole mile? I can't even imagine as I have NEVER been able to!

My mom wants the whole family to come home on Oct 17th to run/walk a 5k together (for Race for the Cure). And I have been tossing around the idea of actually running it.

Am I crazy?

Here is the program I would use.

And... didn't I set one of my 26 goals before 26 to run a mile non stop? and wasn't another one to work out regularly?

Should I go for it?
