Hi all! Karma here -- Your support team coordinator and frequent blogger. WOW -- what a great turnout we had Saturday. So far 115 people from across the Magic and Wood River Valleys have signed up for the challenge. This is a wonderful opportunity for all of us to meet new people and meet our personal goals.
Lincoln County Recreation District is now open for extended hours. There was a great turnout today. My neighbor Trenna and I went this morning and had a great time. My personal goal is to get my 5K down by about 15- 20 minutes. I walked on the treadmill this morning and did 1.5 miles in 30 minutes -- and felt great!
I must admit though, I really miss walking outside. Especially on such a pretty, but awfully cold, day. Last winter I fell on the ice several times and now I find I'm increasingly paranoid about falling. So I'll stick with the treadmill for as long as I can stand it!
For those of you who don't mind working out in the cold, here are links to a few articles about winter workouts. Hope you find something that helps you as your work your way toward meeting your goals.
