Are you a runner? Are you working on becoming one? Are you working on a 5K? A 10K? A marathon?
Not a runner, but you're thinking maybe you'd like to be? Do you dabble in a little jogging but you just keep hitting The Wall? (Check out the Couch-to-5K program on Cool Running! Click here to see the plan from the very beginning!)
Have no interest in running, but you're ready to dust off the gym membership, elliptical trainer, or weight bench and tone up for the summer?
Pay close attention...you're going to want to hear this!

Those of you who have been around GM for even a week have seen a little thing show up
I started 5K Friday as a way to track my progress as I train for my very first 5K. The race is August 22nd, benefiting Ovarian Cancer, and I've been so blessed to learn that I actually enjoy running! Over the past few weeks I've also learned that there are others that are already runners, want to be runners, or simply need a motivator to get things in gear. That's where my wheels really got turning and I decided it was time to expand 5K Friday into something a little bit bigger.
So, with that, I give you something new for GM...5K Friday (Mr. Linky Edition!)
Every Friday I'll post my progress on the Couch-to-5K program, along with a way for others to join in, link up, and make some new friends. You don't have to be a runner to take part, you just have to be ready to get out there and get active, all while getting some support and encouragement from some fantastic bloggers!
I'll add a Mr. Linky at the bottom of each post, and ask that you link your 5K Friday post to GM so that other can find you, comment, and give some encouragement on your progress!
I've also made two different clickable buttons for you to grab. One for your sidebars, and another that you'll add to your 5K Friday posts as an easy way to send others back to share in the link love.
A clickable image for your 5KF Posts
And a button...if that's your thing. :)
So, without further ado, I give you GM's first ever 5K Friday (Mr. Linky edition!)
Go ahead! Link up, visit some blogs, and get those rears in gear! Oh, and to see my progress from Week #6 you can check out today's post, here.

I'm first! I'm first! Here's my latest C25k post:
Okay, I didn't know your 5K was in AUGUST. In KS? Girl, you're nuts. LOL But luckily it's only a 5K....do you have a goal time in mind? Did I miss that somewhere along the way? I'm thinking of doing a road run sometime in the next 3 to 6 months. If I DO get that motivated, I'll let you know. :) Right now, I'm just easing back into running from my 2 year baby/nursing hiatus.
Just wanted to stop and say Hi! I have been needing something to get me up and motivated! I think I found it! Thanks!
Go girl! :)
Good for you! Looks like fun! My hubby is the runner in the house- not me, but I will be here on Fridays to give you luv & support!!!

Hello! Stopping over from SITS :)

I am a C25K graduate myself and can tell you that program WORKS. It made me a runner and I love it!
