5K Goals

I just got the e-mail I had been thinking about, the one that says when the Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure Columbus is being held. It is May 14th this year in downtown Columbus. I am hoping the team that I have tried to be a part of in the past is participating this year. It would be awesome to participate with some family and friends!

The other 5K I have been thinking about is the one I did last year in Dayton, the Panerathon 5K To End Childhood Hunger. I did this one last year with my parents and loved the feeling of finishing my first 5K. It took me a lot longer than I had wanted, because I was really really out of shape, but the feeling of crossing the finish line was great! So this year maybe we can do it again and have better finish times, maybe even run some of it, I HATE RUNNING! I run a few minutes a day right now on the Wii, and I am getting more used to it. Hopefully by the time the weather is nice enough I will brave running a little outside.

So now you know two of my small charity goals for the year, the two spring 5K's that are important to me. If you are interested in doing either of these with me, please let me know, I would love the company. Children are welcome at both and the entry fees are minimal. You are helping yourself with a goal of good health and helping these great charities with a gift of participation and donation. OR, find a race in your area that interests you and set a goal for it! Let me know what you are participating in so I can keep you in my prayers!
