Do you 5K?

Here at H3, we have been in quite the 5K spirit!  During the month of February, we held our own “Heart Healthy Beach 5K” each week.  We had such a great response – we are going to make this a regular event. 

 

To finish off American Heart Month on the right foot, staff and guests from H3 participated in a local 5K sponsored by Aunt Chilada’s restaurant; all proceeds benefiting the American Heart Association.  We had a total of 11 participants, with one of our 5-man teams winning first place!  Everyone had an awesome time and crossed the finish line with a smile on their face. 

 

If you are interested in training for a 5K Run – check out the H3 4-Week Training Plan to get started.  Then, visit active.com to find a 5K race in your area.  Grab a few friends to sign-up and train with you – it’s the perfect activity for a Spring-time Saturday morning! 

 

Check out a few pictures from yesterday’s race:

Way to Go!

  1. Great idea to make the 5k a regular part of the program. I really enjoyed that event when I was there. And thanks for the getting ready for a 5k website--I want to do this!

  2. I’ve found that signing up for a 5K (or other fitness challenge) is a great way to stay motivated with my workouts all year long!

    Congratulations to all who participated in the Aunt Chiladas Heart Healthy 5K!
