It starts in 1 week, just to give us a chance to recover from last month.

Hi Karen. I saw your ? about 5K's. I started out by doing an on line search. I live in Maryland so I searched on Google for 5k in Maryland and found site that is all Maryland races which you can sort by the county you live in. I am not sure but I would think most states have running groups that would post this information. I also ended up joining Active.com. They have a pretty good listing of what in the area and they discount most of the registration fees. There is a few to join. If you need some help let me know what state you are in and I would be glad to check active.com for your area. My time by the way was 38 minutes - not great but 6 minutes better than last year!

I like your "Motivation-Jeans" plan!!! Excited to see when it fits?! ;)

Good for you for quitting smoking, Karen! I quit December 2012 and aside from a few slip ups, it's gone really well, but I know how hard it is and how weight can become an issue. Way to go!
