A Little Friendly Competition

Train for a 5K with your best friend, your sister (or brother), your spouse, neighbor - or anyone. This might be a completely new thing for you, or a 5K somewhere you haven't been before. The fall is the perfect time to run - the weather is awesome, and there are a lot of people training for something so it's easy to find a companion. Running releases your feel-good hormones, strengthens your bones, and renews your spirit. It is your playtime; you're outside in the fresh air where you can push yourself, and running with someone challenges you to go a little faster than if you were running alone. Pick a run that's far out enough for you to be able to accomplish your goal; this may be simply completing the 5K, or it might be beating your own best time. You might even "beat" your partner, but most of all, you will have had some fun and a few laughs, and maybe even met some new friends along the way. Sign up today and hit the road! Melissa
