Your race, your pace.

On March 29th I will be running my first 5k race. Since I began focusing on serious weight training, I have lost some of my time in running a 5k, however a great person told me, "your race, your pace." Which is what my focus will be. I will not focus so much on time, but just finishing. I plan on running 3 races by the end of the year and I'm already registered for 2. If I have the opportunity to run more, I will. If you are trying to burn a ton of calories in a short period of time try jogging or running. You can do that on a treadmill, track, or outside. If you have bad knees, hips, or ankles don't risk it. Walking at a brisk pace is just as good. Your heart doesn't know whether you're walking fast or jogging, it only knows when it's rate has increased or decreased. How you make that happen is up to you, just make it happen!

Today's Challenge: go out there and KILL some cardio! Get that heart rate up for at least 30 mins. Be sure to warm up and cool down. You've got this!
