I have a love for running. I eagerly run 4-5 days a week. It’s a past time for me. Even as a little kid I always ran everywhere, I was always ready to race someone, and I even joined the track team. Running helps me to relive stress, and gain peace of mind. I talk to God during my runs. I like to run on nature trails and enjoy the scenery around me. I meditate on my breathing which aids in keeping my energy level high. I also have a really good playlist coming out of my earphones.

You can always start out slow with just walking 10 minutes a day and then work your way up. Set a pace for yourself that works. Makes some goals that you can stick to. Keep a Walking Jar. Put a dollar in the jar for every time to walk or workout. Spend it when you reach your goal.
I like running so much that I have plans to do a few 5K runs this year. I did the Rave Run already. Next I plan to do the Color Me Rad Run and the Bubble Run. If you are interested and doing this then let me know.
Are you a runner? A walker? Would you do a 5K?
