I'm Running On... Running on Empty

Well, it's official.  I just registered for my first 5k.  I might have agreed to it in a moment of mental weakness, but now I'm committed.  Or, maybe, should be committed.

I can't tell you the last time I ran. Not for ANY thing.

Rain.

Being late.

Ninjas chasing me.

So, I'm easing my way into this, at least until Lety gets me in training mode.

I made two very important decisions about this: 1) I chose a race fairly far away, and 2) it happens in the dark.  I happen to think I do some of my best running after dark.  Fear is a great motivator to increase my speed.  But, more importantly, in the dark no one can see all my jiggly bits.
