It is easy to get derailed from your goals if you can’t see the light at the end of the tunnel.  It can seem like you’re chasing the carrot at the end of the stick.  A great way to not only challenge yourself, but work towards something, is to sign up for a local run/walk event.  There are many 5K events and longer in the area.  That is just a little over 3 miles, and if you put that on your training calendar, you’ll find yourself reaching your goals, challenging yourself to beat previous times, and be surrounded by others that enjoy a healthy lifestyle.

Have fun, and see ya at the races!
