Coffee Talk #232: A 5k Giveaway

It’s MAY! May is my favorite month – we’re well into spring, the weather generally cooperates, and it’s BIRTHDAY MONTH! Yes, month. Yes, I’m 35 and my birthday is a BIG DEAL. I like to celebrate all month.

I want to kick-off May with a GIVEAWAY!

The first race I ever participated in was a half marathon in Chestertown. That should tell you everything you need to know about me – I wanted to go BIG for that first race. I had never run before in my life and I was not an athlete as a kid. I was determined to run a race on my quest to lose weight and build confidence!

Even though it seems daunting, I love the idea of a BIG goal like a half marathon. It takes time – I trained for weeks and weeks and consistently got up before 5 a.m. to get long runs in the morning. I loved training toward a goal! 37 races later, I’m so glad I took that first step.

Have you always wanted to run or walk a 5k? HERE’S A FREE CHANCE. I’m putting together a cute little 5k team for the Blueberry Boogie at Godfrey’s Farm in Sudlersville.

Race info: Saturday, June 19 @ 9:00 a.m. // 5k run OR walk

I have a FREE 5k training group set-up on facebook. Join here.

To make it even sweeter, I’m gifting ONE free race entry!
