in Fitness and Exercise
At the end of April I am running/walking my first 5k with my 11 year old son! Its a 5k put on by my church and hundreds (possibly thousands) of my church members ( its a mega church), AND our fabulous Pastor are all participating. At the end of January, we all pledged to make changes in our health and/or exercise, and the 5k is a goal for everyone. I am looking for to it! I set my goal of finishing at 40 mins or less! :smiley:

    It's so awesome running with all those people. The energy is so high around you.
