I have dreamed of this moment for years, and I still cannot believe I did it! I have just registered for my first 5K ever! WOOHOOO!!!
I will be racing (I cannot believe I AM actually saying that! 
) on Mother's Day 2008. That gives plenty of time for my ankle to heal completely, and plenty of time for me to get prepared.
The total climb of the race is 111 feet (34 m) and the total elevation change is 229 feet (70 m). I am not exactly sure what that means, but I bet I'd better get myself ready for "hilly", shouldn't I? 
Big thanks to GrannyPanties from Spark People for motivating and inspiring me with her own experience, and to all the fantastic SP Members for their support and great help with very helpful tips.
I AM SO EXCITED!!!
