Welcome, bloggers and other GIPC'ers working on the 5k wellness challenge!

This blog is for anyone interested in increasing their wellness, especially those who want to take on the 5k challenge. You define the nature of that challenge -- run, jog, walk. Maybe your goal is to jog 1 mile rather than 3 , or simply to walk regularly. That's great, too. Anything you do that gets you off the couch! (Remember to check with your physician before undertaking any new exercise.)

Check in here for support and join the conversation. There will be a generic item posted every day so that you can post comments on topics of interest related to the challenge. Questions, comments, tips, exciting discoveries or achievements? Record them here for community response. Looking for a walking or jogging partner? Post it.

If you are on the home page, click on the notation "x Comments" to go to a page where you can post your item. If you click on the posting for the day as listed on the Archive on the right side of the page, a Comment box will show automatically, as will all the comments previously made.

Let's take ourselves out for a spin and see what we can do!

January 23rd Opps

It is no wonder I struggle with exercise, I struggle with remembering. Perhaps I should exercise my brain more. Life is busy, life gets complicated, when it gets overwhelming it is really important to take care of ourselves. Having said that, on the days when I just can't or don't make time to stretch my legs a little bit I can still take care of myself by eating properly and drinking plenty of water. I try to simplify whenever possible. It is the little things that can keep us going down the right path.

  1. Really good point. There are days when I just don't want to move. I don't want to be active or worry about some darned goal. It's getting past that inertia that is so important. I find that if I plan for a couple of rest days each week, I can overcome the reluctance better. I know I have a day off (of exercise, that is) coming real soon!
