30 Day Ab Challenge– Day 26

Only 4 days left! We are getting so close to the end! You are doing so great! You can finish the last 4 days!! Well, if you were wondering the 5k went well yesterday 🙂  I took 3rd for my age group and my mom took 5th in hers.  Good job Mom! 🙂 Running in a race is a good motivation to get active.  You pay money to participate in it, so you want to prepare, which helps you want to be more active.  I’ve been thinking today about looking for another 5k race to sign up for to help me continue to run.  I really enjoy exercising, but running is not the top of my list, unless it is on an elliptical (I have bad knees). I would much rather lift weights or take a Pilates class or do some at home workouts, but running sure works the body pretty well.  With that said, I challenge you to look for a race or physical event to sign up for, then get ready and trained to participate.  If you don’t want to spend the money on it, then create your own by your self or with family and friends. Last year my family decided to start their own 5k on or around Thanksgiving.  We (my Mom) came up with a trophy for the winner.  That Thanksgiving Family 5k is coming up.  That is one I need to get prepared for so I  can beat my husband, brothers, and Dad.  I’m okay if my Mom beats me 🙂 I want to look in my area for another 5k to participate in as well.  When you find one and sign up come back and tell us 🙂  Not sure how to start to train for a race?  I’ll post a training program here on Fit Mommy that will get you going, stay tuned (follow the blog by email or wordpress user so you don’t miss it).  Good luck today with Day 26 and enjoy your day!
