Introduction - My Goal and Plan

My name is Courtney Johnson and my goal is to be able to run a 5k again. I would love to get the time down to eight minutes a mile which would mean me running a between a 24-25 minute 5k. This will help me also accomplish my goal of losing some weight for my March 23, 2013 wedding! :-D

I plan to accomplish this by starting out with sprinting and walking. As time goes on I will make the walking portions shorter and shorter until I am running/jogging the whole distance. Then the last step will be to time myself and push harder to reach my time goal.
