Many years ago I would run a 5K weekly. I rarely did it for competition. I did it because I enjoyed it. At work, one of my co-workers asked me if I wanted to run an 8K with her. It was a tough question to answer. I haven't been running as much as I had a year ago. I switched to biking, swimming, and walking. Would I be able to survive an 8K race? The questions kept racing in my mind and I had yet to give her an answer.

I told her I was uncertain of what I wanted to do. An 8K seems like a big challenge. 5 miles is a long distance to go when I am finally comfortable just running for 30 minutes (which gets me about 3 miles).

I finally got back to her. "Sure, let's do it!" Now the only question is, how will I do it?

Over the next few days, I'll begin posting my plan to prepare for my 8K race. The blog will be coming back to life! I'll be posting my workout logs, more running tips, and my weight loss charts.

So, after a long hiatus, I am glad to say I'm back in action and I hope that many of you (who are still visiting the blog daily!) are ready for the return of RunPete!
