My pondering is should I sign up to run a 5K in Spetember?  This would be about 4 months post partum....  I am 4 weeks out now and just ran my first entire mile, straight.  I ran at 4.5 mph, which is not impressive, but I did it w/o stopping!!!
Wednesday my weigh in was 194- down 30 lbs since I gave birth.  24 pounds of baby weight to go.  I am going to start trying now.....  (yep, 30 lbs w/o an effort.)
Back to my question...  I know that 3 miles is doable, so I know I can do it.  Paying a registration fee would make me invested to do it.  Having a fitness goal 3 months out to train for, would keep me on track.  I have ran in the past to lose weight for my wedding, but I have never done a race (even though to me it would be about completing, not competing).  I look at it as an opportunity to help me lose the 24 lbs faster....
I am almost sold...
 
Do it!!!! I will be there for Bismarcks Roughrider. Not sure on the distance I will be doing though.
