ATTENTION SCOUTS!!

So you think you can outrun an OLD GOAT???

Run with me and find out!

I was thinking of a way to not put extra weight on over the holidays and to get those in my Personal Fitness merit badge class motivated in this off-season for sports and I came up with this.

I am planning on running in the Cary Road Race April 12, 2008 (5K).

This leaves at least 5 months for training to build up for the Cary Road Race.

It would help all of you increase your endurance, speed and decrease stress, whether you choose to walk the 5k or run it. Here are some websites with great information on how to get started along with some nutritional information.

I sincerely hope that you and your family choose to participate in one or more of the programs below, it is within reach and the best gift you can give yourself and your family!
