I just registered for the Hot Chocolate Run, which is on December 2 in Northampton, MA, and I want to challenge those of you following this blog to join my "Friends of the Keys" team and run this 5K!
To prepare for this run, I'm starting my
c25k today (couch to 5k running app). BTW, 5k is just a tad over 3 miles. Last year I did this race in just under 45 minutes and I want to beat that this year. I would love to have a bunch of you join me! Post your questions if you're unsure and want some support! These kind of races are especially fun when done in a team - both the training for the race and the race itself. Let's do it!
If you want like to join me, simply register for the
Hot Chocolate Run and when you register, select my "Friends of the Keys" team.
If you aren't up for the run, I hope you'll consider making a donation of any amount to help me reach my $200 fundraising goal! You may make a
donation to Safe Passages on my behalf to help fund their programming--including an emergency shelter program, individual counseling and support groups, legal services, a 24-hour hotline and more. All contributions are tax-deductible, and you’ll receive an emailed receipt immediately after you donate.
I wanna go! I wanna go! I will check my calendar, and go look at the registration. As long as you are aware that you will probably way outrace me! I have to go look into that couch to 5k thing you and Meaghan keep eluding to. You, girlfriend, are gonna get me to step outside of my box again!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteJen-look into it! It is a slow and steady progression to running. And I use that term loosely. It's more like a jog. You'll start off walking three minutes, running 1. And progress to where to will be running for 3.1 miles. :)
ReplyDeleteOr progress to where you are intoxicated by stupidity and sign up to run 13.1 miles! ;)
Do it!
