Couch to 5K

Okay, no more excuses.  I've decided to take the Couch to 5k Challenge.  Can you imagine someone in MY shape actually being able to run 5K?  I don't even know how far that is, but it sounds like a long way!!!



Always wanted to run, but never knew where to start? 

Join the Columbus Roadrunners during their next Couch to 5K training program starting February 22, 2011.

The Couch to 5K program is designed for people with no previous running or exercise experience. 

During the 8 to 10 week program, participants will build up from running/walking intervals to completing a 5K (3.1 miles).

Participants have their choice of two goal races – Celebrity Classic on April 16 and the Midtown Run on April 30. 

Participation is not required in either of these races but is encouraged.

Every Tuesday & Thursday @ 6:00 PM starting February 22

Lakebottom Park
(Meet in front of the restrooms by the tennis courts/oval track)

Cost: Free

Members of the Columbus Road Runners will be leading the program and will be available for support and questions.

What a great goal! 5K is about 3 miles... I totally recommend following a training program... you will feel so empowered when you finish your race, good luck and look forward to reading your training updates on your new blog! :)
