On the RUN

Springtime is supposed to be getting closer .
(so that little rodent freakin said, I’m just not a believer  yet with all this freakin snow we keep having)
AS much as I want it to get here the thought of spring approaching is kinda freaking me out.
Since, I promised the soccerboy last fall that I would run in a 5k with him.
In the spring.
Now, I have been running for about 8 months.
Heres the big but...........
Its only been On/off . I've had to take a few breaks due to my injury in my hip and my Gastritis.
Sooooooo, I don’t really feel like I am where I should be to run a 5k. 
Some days I can run 30 minutes solid no problems.

While, Other times I feel like I can just barely make it a freakin mile and ½.
A 5k is more than a mile and ½ people. Alot more.
Some of my runner friends have given me a pep talk, saying that I can always walk some if I needed to.
or that the adrenaline rush of just being in the race will be enough to get me through the whole race.
I just don’t know. I am one of “those” people who if I am running in a race,
1)    I won't walk and  2) I enter a race to place.
I don’t want to come in dead last.
I’m not saying there is anything wrong with either of those.
 I’m just saying that I am the type of person if I don’t go balls to the wall and do really well then I won't enter to run.
At least not until I feel like I am 100% ready.
Does that sound stupid? 
and now recently I have bumped up my work outs to, two a days.  In hopes that I will be ready come spring.
Any runners out there have any tips to give me?
I sooooooo want to be ready
 to run with the soccerboy.
I don’t want to back out
of the promise I made to him.
