Church Changes Man into a Runner

Most changes decided in church are spiritual. But, I found this inspiring story of a man who made a decision to change his health and fitness from a pastor's challenge.

This story had further relevance to me as I look forward to a 5K next weekend. My 5K is a small community 5K that includes a children's 1 mile fun run which is a great way for the entire family to create a fitness habit.

The 3.1 mile 5K is a good, attainable goal that even people without much running motivation or ability can realize benefit. There are numerous couch to 5K guides  available.


The Spring weather is an inviting time to try something new in your fitness and weight loss journey. It doesn't matter if you run, run/walk, or walk the race. I encourage you to consider training for a 5K run. The goals for average folks like us for a 5K is to enjoy the moment and savor the achievement.

Below are links to the couch to fitnesss apps for 5K to cough for iphone or android phones. Please get checked by your doctor before starting any type of training if you have any concerns about being medically able to train for a  5K.
