Participating in 5k's is a great way to get out of the house, get exercises, and meet other SAHM's in the city. So I bring to you the first SAHM's of Jacksonville 5k challenge.
How it works:
- Have fun! This isn't a competition, it is an individual challenge to push yourself and keep you active.
- We will participate in at least one 5k walk/run each month. You may choose to run the whole 5k or walk it. Whatever you feel comfortable with.
- There will be weekly columns with advice about walking and running, staying hydrated, pacing, and information regarding our upcoming 5k's.
- Your challenge is to participate in at least one 5k per month from September 2009 to May 2010 (totals 27miles).
If you want to participate please email me at ashleyllyon@gmail.com you can also subscribe to my articles and instantly get updates in your inbox. Please feel free to comment or email me with any race suggestions as well.
