As the ward fitness coordinator, I would like to coordinate some fitness by inviting YOU to run a 5K in Pleasant Grove with Heather Wrigley and I on April 28th! Wait just a second, if you were about to sign off cuz' you think you're not a runner, STOP. I haven't run a 5K since 6th grade. This is my plan: run 3 times a week (I started with only 8/10 of a mile on Wednesday) and keep striving for a little further every day. If April 28th rolls around and I'm not really ready to run 3.1 miles...I will simply run what I can and then walk the rest. No shame in that.
Here are all the reasons you should really think about doing this with us:
1. It's to raise money for breast cancer! Who doesn't know someone who has been affected by breast cancer? As for me, I will be running for my grandmother and my husband's grandmother, both breast cancer survivors.
2. You can drag your husband into it too. Bonding!
3. Take control of your life. This may not apply to all of you, but I'm pretty sure I'm not a lone when I say that life has been crazy, a little less than ideal recently, and I want to put all my energy into something positive that will make me feel more in control again.
4. A goal to work towards. I find myself a little unemployed in the mornings (I only working 3 to 6 pm right now, and I'm bored!) and I bet I'm not the only one. I would be happy (THRILLED) to get together with other women in the ward that have some spare time in the mornings and train together! Working towards a goal feels so satisfying and rewarding!
5. It's all downhill! Easiest 5K you'll ever do.
