It seems I am a Penguin. What is a Penguin?
"In the running lexicon, the word "Penguin" has come to mean a person who runs more for the joy of running than for recognition and public rewards. Some of us are perpetual Penguins. We are consumed by the pleasure of movement.
Other Penguins find their joy in the challenge of reaching their own potential, whatever that is. For some it has meant running the Boston Marathon, the only U.S. marathon that has qualifying standards. For others, it has meant finding an independence and freedom in their daily runs that expands their limits."

So knowing all of this I begin a training schedule today that should have me up to running a 5k by my birthday.

I don't know if you have an iPod or not, but there are some excellent interval training podcasts on there. Check out Podrunner - they have a 10 week program that takes you from beginner to 5k (followed by 10 weeks from 5k to 8k, and then 10 weeks from 8k to 10k, but who wants to run that far? - I know I've never had a game of freeze tag last that long).
