Many people have tried Running, and many people have hated it. The roots of this displeasure can be traced to the running boom of the 1970′s, when running proponents, caught up in a near orgiastic buzz, loudly pronounced that the best approach to running was longer, faster, and harder, and they did exactly that – until succumbed to debilitating injuries.

Five kilometres  rounds out to about 3.1 miles.It’s the shortest of the distance races, but it’s long enough to give people, especially beginners, a good challenge.

Making running a 5K your goal can be an excellent motivational tool. The eight weeks leading up to the 5K is the best time to train your body to be able to perform well on race day. While many runners sign-up for 5K’s to compete for first place, a lot of people do it just for fun. It is a group fitness event that can provide people with the incentives they need to stay healthy and workout regularly.

If people only ate when they were truly hungry.

Except for the tiny fraction of us who actually have glandular problems, we would all be as slim as whippets. Unfortunately, for us and our bellies, we eat for all sorts of reasons that have nothing whatsoever to do with hunger.

We eat because we are happy, sad, angry, lonely, worried, nervous, frustrated, tired and bored.
