    You could do a 5 K this summer, say in August, no problem..... walk it, run it or a little of both you can do it. People like the couch potato to 5K training schedule. Google it and see what you think.

    I really want to try and walk a 5k. I don't know why I won't try it. I guess I'm just chicken. :noway: I tried C25K a little over a year ago. I was not ready for running yet. I hope to get there one day soon. Thanks for your vote of confidence.:smile:

    Rocky, I totally agree with Mel!! Awesome job!

    So, close! I am only 1/2 mile from the finish line!! :happy: I wanted to just finish up, but I seriously needed to stop. By the time I was able to start, it was 87 degrees, with not a cloud in the sky and not a breeze to be felt. It was like walking through hot water :laugh: Luckily, tomorrow I should be able to get going earlier :drinker:

    I did a horrible job updating my tracker daily but I kept track. I know I won't get a walk in tomorrow because of my niece's graduation so I have to call the challenge done today. I didn't make 50 this month, but I still did more than I had been doing and I need to look at the positive in that. I committed to about a mile a day and at least made that. On to the June Challenge!

    There certainly is a lot of positive in that! Good job, Daisiemae!! :happy: :flowerforyou:


    So, it was already nearly 90 degrees at the bus stop this morning :noway: I soooo did not want to go, but I did :smile: That's my official total, I'll be volunteering at field day tomorrow. I'll be spending 5 hours outside. Weather forecast: 90 degrees and cloudless skies ~ jussssst great :tongue: But, it's for the children :heart:
