Ever done a 5K?  Never done a 5K?  Ever thought about it?  You can start training next week (Monday, October 1) and be ready for the Grizzlies House 5K on Saturday, December 1.  The Living Well Program has assembled three different training programs aimed at three different kinds of race participants: first-time walkers, walkers who want to try jogging, and seasoned runners who are looking for a new challenge.

• General Overview

• First-Time Walkers

• Walkers to Joggers

• Seasoned Runners

If you’re in the market for a walking or running buddy, send an e-mail to wellness@stjude.org with the following: your name, department, e-mail and phone contact information, which training program you plan to follow (if you’re not training for a race, please indicate whether you’re a walker or a runner), and the time of day and day(s) of the week you’re looking for a partner or group.  We’ll put people with similar interests in touch with each other.
