5K For A Cause

Good Morning, Blog-ees!

As of today, I will be training for a 5K here in San Diego that is near and dear to my heart!  That's 3.1 miles~ right up my alley!  Lol!   If I know you personally, then you already know all of the details =)  For protection & personal purposes, I have decided not to share the information publically about the 5K I have entered until AFTER the run is over.  It's best to err on the side of caution (or precaution!) when it comes to putting personal information out on the internet!  Thank you in advance for understanding!

My training will begin with a great book that I purchased a year ago, to which I have yet to utilize.  Lol!  It has been sitting on my shelf, without purpose... until now!  It's called "Run Your Butt Off" and I am looking forward to finally peeling open the pages... It even still smells new =)



The event I have entered can be completed via walking or running.  I'm going to give running a shot.  Yeah, yeah, I know.... I have terrible knees!  That being said, I plan to jog my way through training, and not running for speed.  After all, this is a fundraiser... not a contest, thank goodness.

So it's time to tighten up my clean eating, and get back to 90% clean foods, 90% of the time.  Back to water only as my beverage of choice.  Back to going to bed early, and waking early... I always arise early;  it's the going to bed early thing that is non-existent in my house.  Back to riding my bike instead of driving... walking everywhere when it's possible.  Even to purchase my groceries.



Weight training will continue, as well as cardio... however, I will be skipping "HIIT" type cardio and trading it in for non-injurious types of cardio, such as power walking, fast paced swimming, etc.  The last thing I need for my 5K is a knee injury that will keep me down.

Of course, I will be utilizing my new cell phone App called SHealth to record my walks, jogs, training, and food.  I will be posting the results here as often as I can.  It won't be every day, but I will try my hardest to post at least 3-4 times weekly up until the actual 5K.  Then I will post pictures and results of the 5K fundraiser!



Pray for me, and join in by committing to your own fitness training!  Gather some friends, take some walks, and share a clean meal once a week!  Have fun this summer, and be happy.  You only live once~  Do it right!

XOXOXO
