Today’s Run: \u00a050 Min lifting at the “Y”<\/p>\n
This coming Saturday is the annual Turkey Trot at Mississippi State University (MSU). \u00a0They hold a *5K and *8K every year. \u00a0It is the grand finale of their C25K program (couch to 5K).<\/p>\n
The C25K program is a wonderful tool for getting people involved in the sport of running. \u00a0That is how my sister and I got started a year ago. \u00a0Basically, the program starts with the participant walking for a period of a minute and running\/jogging for 30 seconds. \u00a0You do that for a couple of days and then you walk for 45 seconds and run for 45 seconds and so on…until. eight weeks later, you run a 5K race! \u00a0Pretty cool, huh!?!<\/p>\n
So, this Saturday at 8:00 am we will toe the line, along with my husband and run! \u00a0My sister is doing the 5K and my husband and I will run the 8K. \u00a0We all have 60 minutes to complete the course, regardless of 5K or 8K distance. We will bring our 3 canned good items a apiece (it is a canned food drive also) and run! \u00a0At the end of the race, we will feel like we accomplished something and feel better about ourselves for doing it.<\/p>\n
(Running is a wonderful aerobic activity. \u00a0Little overhead expense~just a good pair of shoes). \u00a0You can join a running club and make new friends. You can enjoy the solitude and get lost in your thoughts. \u00a0“Me time”. \u00a0Can’t beat it! \u00a0Plus it’s good for the waistline!)<\/p>\n
*5K=3.1 miles \u00a0 *8K=4.96 miles<\/p>\n
