Ahh! I’m a little scared… I’ve signed up for a 10k run with Women’s Health Magazine. I must precedent this with a simple fact: I AM NOT A RUNNER. In fact, I find running the most difficult, stressful, and frustrating of workouts. Hand me a 100 lbs bar to squat or stick me in a grueling spin class, but running? There’s something about it that’s not for me.
Having said that. It’s so frustratingly difficult that I always find myself coming back to it. A part of me must love the challenge, and I must admit I feel accomplished to shave off some time or go an extra distance. Recently, I’ve worked up to a 5k run in an average of 35 minutes. Laugh all you want, but that’s a helluva lot better than what I used to run!
I’m getting off topic here. I digress… Women’s Health Magazine is hosting its 3rd annual NYC RUN10 FEED10 philanthropic race and wellness event that helps fight domestic hunger. The concept is simple, register to run a 10K and feed 10 people in the NYC community. As if that concept isn’t incentive enough, Women’s Health is also offering a special discount code for you! Enter the code R10F10PR at checkout for $5 off your registration fee when you sign up here.
