My Couch to 5K Journey – Halfway Mark: Week 7

I was able to get in two days of training this week. It felt pretty good. The sports doc worked my muscles a bit on Friday and wanted me to take it easy for 4 days. But, I’ll be back on the track on Tuesday. Fingers crossed that my knees and the forecast for some warmer weather both hold!

We are at the halfway point. It feels like the easy half is behind me and the tough part is yet to come. But the sports doc assured me that I don’t have a serious injury and further training should be very doable. The training goal this week is running for 5 minutes. We’ll see how that goes.  

Coach Steve updated the training program for me, for getting back into it, but it would also serve for you if you’ve decided to join us and need some help getting off that couch.

Halfway through our training and slightly more than halfway to our $5K goal for MEOW! Thank you to everyone who has supported us (and MEOW) so far!

Coach Steve says it’s still not too late to join us. It’ll be fun! Here’s the link to learn more.

If you are already a 5Ker and don’t need help getting off the couch, why not register to run/walk with us? No additional training needed.

If you’re really not interested participating in the 5K, you may certainly be a part of our fundraising efforts (and my team of encouragers) by donating. If you’d like to offer me encouragement by supporting MEOW, you may donate via my Facebook or Network for Good fundraising page. Thanks!

Pot of Gold Change Drive

Tuesday – Friday (3/14 – 3/17) 2pm-5pm

Another much less rigorous fundraiser is happening at the shelter this week. Our Pot of Gold, Silver, Copper (and Zinc) Coin Drive for Change is on. If you save coins and would like to donate them to MEOW, stop by the shelter this Tuesday – Friday (3/14 – 3/17) from 2pm to 5pm.

Leave your coins and take a treat! Thank you and Happy St. Patrick’s Day.

Looking forward to some warmer temperatures.
Small change makes a big difference for the animals.
Staying hydrated is so important.
