Sign up for a 5K

I ran my first 5K race in 2 years this past weekend - the Dam to Dam 5K in downtown Des Moines. It was tough, but I completing the race was my first step toward walking/running the Des Moines half marathon in October. Next on my list - a 10K race in my hometown in August. Time to start upping the mileage.

Thinking about signing up to run or walk a race? There's tons of options - and whether it is a charity run for a great cause or a race close to home, registering for an event and training for it will help you stay motivated and moving toward your fitness goals.

Find local walking events on Wellmark's Wellness Calendar. For Iowans, another great resources is the Race Calendar on the Web site of Des Moines running outfitter Fitness Sports.
