Goodlife 5 km Run Details

Well, I have finally registered to do the Loblaw 5 km run. It's the shortest run that is apart of the Goodlife Fitness Toronto Marathon. I can 't back down now,  I am committed. I am really excited about it but at the same time, very very nervous. 


There are a number of reasons why I am a little scared, but the main one being that I have never run anything more then what I am doing now. My maximum distance so far has been 3.2 km and that's including my warm up and cooldown. I am not worried about speed or finishing before anyone else. My goal is simple for this race... to complete it. Hopefully, I will be running the whole time! Anyways, the race is scheduled to be in Toronto on May 6th 2012. I have 89 days to continue my training and build my endurance. The Race will start at Noon on Sunday. The starting point is at Queen's Park and the finish is there as well. Here is the Route Map... this will be where I am running. 

Looking at the map, it seems so intimidating. Wish me luck, there is no turning back now! I plan to get out this weekend and run outside. There is a huge difference from running on a treadmill to running outside. I would like to make a plan of getting outside once a week.
