Thank you to all who are encouraging

What a nice time of year to walk and run. Now to do it. For those who are training, keep it up.

Rough August

Well I started this challenge off pretty strong and then camping came along. And with camping come the nibbles i.e. smores and their friends. I am now ready to get back to my training. When I look at the calendar, June 2012 is coming pretty fast. If you want to make time fly, set a goal you are not to excited about.

Byron Days Festival 5k

Always working the crowd

The last weekend of July every year is the Byron Days Festival. I have been on the committee since I became Clerk. This year I walked the 5K. My time was 51 minutes. That is about a 17 minute mile. I have some work before conference next year. Our new YMCA opened this morning, so now I have someplace closer to work out. Eating better worked for awhile and then I got back to my normal and now I have to work on a little self-discipline. Good luck to those out there trying to get a little exercise into their lives.

The Challenge

I am hereby challenging myself to run the 5k at the Conference next June in Traverse City. I am requesting that you will join me over the next year to not only better ourselves professionally, but physically as well. I would love to have the largest amount of 5k participants ever! At the first of the month I will post my progress and any tips I may come across. I welcome comments on what you are doing to prepare over the next year.
