Mandy's May Challenge: 5k a day!

Can I do it?  Will I do it?  I am sure as hell going to try!

Each day this month, I am planning to walk/jog/run (or some combination of the 3) a 5k.  I am stealing this idea from someone in a weight loss/fitness challenge I am in because it sounded like a good challenge to get me back on track.

You may have noticed that I have been absent for two months.  For now, I'll say that I made some big changes and found myself falling back into old habits and now I must re-focus (I'll bore you with this story later this week).  It is my hope that this 5k a day in May (yeah, I know, I am a dork who thinks it is cool that my challenge for myself rhymes) will be the thing that energizes and motivates me because I lost it for a while.

5K # 1:  48:00  (I included my warm up in this.  Tomorrow I will warm up first and then hit the treadmill running to get a more accurate number.)  I am not sure what a good number for me would be, though.  I kind of want to do it in 33 minutes.
