Fit Friday Find: You Run or Walk a Road Race 5k Plus

Happy Fit Friday Find! Yes, you!  Really!  Run or Walk a Road Race of your choice - we recommend starting with a 5k!

One of the things I love to do is run a community road race!  Talk about spice up your work out!  Meet local folks, hook up with friends for a work out and compete with yourself.  You heard me, tip extraordinaire is too much competition is just that - too much competition.

One of my tips is compete against yourself and you're always a Winner!  And you don't get caught up in someone else's game.  I find I am happy doing this for me!  Moi!

Join me and others from our community at the SAS Championship 5k !  You can Resister here: Blue Points 5k on site in the morning.  Race begins at 8a for Competitive 5k (competitive meaning you get your timed chip - official time).  I love official time so I can compare all of my races!  Talk about fun!

And we get to run on the lovely and beautiful Prestonwood Country Club Golf Course.  I have my share of golf carts along courses but to run without worry of being hit by a ball, being on the wrong path or just getting out of the way of the carts - this will be a treat.

Who's going?!  How do you keep your exercise routines fresh and exciting?!  Do you like participating in local races?

Warmly, Carolina Mama

Fit Friday at Carolina Mama

Fit Friday at Carolina Mama is talking about Read for Inspiration and then Setting Goals!

Do you Set Goals? We do and we achieve many more simply because they were set. My number one advice, unless you are a real competitive athlete, set your goals for YOU!

Reading Mile Markers by Kristin Armstrong is so inspirational to me on several levels as a Mom and a Runner. And of course, you can find a world of tips in the Runner's World where she writes.

See My Mom Run!

For every day Mom inspiration, check out See My Mom Run! Melanie shares great running tips, routes to take, music and best of all, she has great recipes she shares! Like her, I run to eat! LOL I run for the great feeling, for the escape, for the presence, for the wellness... okay, this is another story! :)

Inspire yourself by clocking your work outs! All the MomBloggers are loving Daily Mile! It is awesome and inspirational. I track my workouts and see my progress. Then challenge myself. Go for your best PR.

Try iPhone Apps like: RunKeeper and Trainer. You can check these out in the "lite" version and if you like it purchase the full app. I love Trainer. GPS. I'll take it! My iPod/iPhone Music, I'm in love!

Remember: Read for inspiration and Set Goals that Challenge! What's your next goal?! I'm up for the SAS Championship 5k! Are you - who's joining me?! Please share your reading inspiration and goal setting too. We would love to share comments below. Happy running!
