Running the 5k

Hello wonderful people!

Today we REALLY started training for a 5k. We have been moving pretty slow up until now. So the good news is...if you want to be a part of it, you can start to day and be ready by March 5th with the rest of us. I will post on here every Tues & Thurs what we have done in the lunch class. (In case you miss for some reason or just don't like getting sweaty at lunch.) Here's what we did today...

Walk 5 minutes at a moderate pace to warm up. Walk fast (on the verge of a jog) for 1 minute: jog for 1 minute. Alternate walking and jogging for 15 minutes. Stroll for 5 minutes to cool down.

That gives you 25 min of great cardio. Running is the quickest calorie cruncher around.

What 5k will we participate in? The TAP Publishing 5k to benefit the Relay for Life that I am going to organize sometime in March. So get your good shoes on and get moving.

:-)
