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!

Monday, January 3

This is the day many of us have been avoiding -- the day when our New Year's resolutions are, or ought to be, kicking in. Whatever else you have in mind, I hope you have included starting to move a bit more than you used to.  On the possible training schedule that was provided, today calls for a 10-minute run/walk. This means walk a minute, then run a minute -- 5 times. If you are not aspiring to the run part, consider just walking a little faster every other minute, or alternate walking forward with walking backward. Anything to mix it up a little and get yourself out of your comfort zone.

Let us hear from you.
