Hi HippieChick,

May I recommend the book The Power of Now to buy, read or reread.

One concept which is very important is to recognize that: You are already complete and perfect (life itself). Any improvement (life situation) you make is now then fun and optional ~ yet not essential!

I say sign up for the 5K now, and then pick a training plan to get you ready for that date! (If I can do it you can do it!!) 😀

Same with a meal plan (while recognizing that sometimes life gets in the way).

And remember to Have Fun!!

Best,

Inky
