It’s May 1 which, as many of you know, is when I start my annual craziness known simply as #5KaDayinMay.
And each year, I’ve started with an intro post and some basic rules. So if you’re interested in that, go read the 2013 and 2014 intro posts or, to read ALL the writing I’ve done during the craziness, just search for 5K a Day in May in that little search box thing directly to your right:).
It’s always interesting and I never know what’s going to happen. This year, I’m running for a cause and am participating in Movement 4 Freedom to raise money for the girls at My Refuge House. I would LOVE if you would join me! Go here to learn more and sign up!
So, let’s get to it. This year will be slightly different because, for the first time, I will be training for a half marathon, the Skirt Sports 13er near Boulder, CO. So the rules have changed just a tad from previous efforts. But since the only regulatory official in this nonsense is yours truly, I think we’ll be OK.
RULES
- I will do 5K a day every day in the month of May. I can skip a day only if I am physically ill or there is a family emergency.
- I will run MOST of the days, but if I am particularly sore (especially the day after a long run) I can alternate running and walking or, if it’s really bad, substitute a 3.2 mile walk, hike, or bike ride.
- I will be honest and keep it real.
Um . . .I think that’s it! I can honestly tell you that I’m looking forward to the consistency and yes, to the challenge of fitting this in each and every day! I hope you’ll join me or at least cheer me on! It’s going to be a great month!
Happy running!
