Before I was the homeschooling writer mom of 5, I used to love to walk all the time as a stress reliever and to stay in shape. Walking is something you can do as a parent anytime, but now that my youngest is 6 and my oldest is 15, it's a lot easier for me to fit in time for my own fitness. Over the winter I walked some at the gym on the treadmill and track. Now I can walk the neighborhood or the field at the school by my house. I'm not a jogger or a runner yet ... special equipment needed for my upper lady parts ... but might be someday! For now I walk in my OOFOS sandals because they are the most comfy thing I have ever worn and work perfectly for summertime.
Because I love walking so much, I'll be posting upcoming walk/runs in Kansas City as I find them. This does not mean I'll be participating in all of them, so don't show up expecting me to sign autographs or anything. I MIGHT or MIGHT NOT be there, depending on household funds at the time, Mr. Kerrie's travel situation, my sanity level, etc. Enjoy the race info, and go out and find some in your town!
What: 8th Annual Pink Laundry 5K Run
When: Saturday, October 1, 2016 at 8 a.m.
Where: In front of the Lee's Summit City Hall, located at Green Street and 3rd Street.
This event supports The Stephanie Vest Foundation,which is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to helping families who are fighting cancer by giving hope in a time of need.
Fun fact: my uncle Kris used to coach track at a high school in Lee's Summit for many years!
P.S. I get my info from the fabulous KC Running Company website.
When you're all done, you'll be hungry! Grab a copy of my Tater Tot Casserole Cookbook and whip up a batch of happiness for dinner!
