I want to be a runner

I found a 5k for October I want to run in. I figure if I pick an end date, then I'll have something to work towards. SO October 4th is the date. I am going to run in a 5K, and I know I can do it. I am going to follow a great training schedule, From Couch to 5K. http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml
And today I bought a new pair of running sneakers, so my feet won't hurt. I want to get up tonmorow early and do just 20 minutes. I need to stick on the schedule to do this! I'm pretty excited, but I just hope that I can stay on it. I don't want to just lose motivation.
I decided that I am going to post it with the meet up group and have "training sessions" weekly after I get back from vacation. We can meet at a track and follow what the schedule is. I can't wait to do this. I want to be a runner!
Hopefully I can make this. I figure if I am doing it as part of the meet up then I have to stick to it. I can't wait! :)
