It’s 5K Season!

The first thing to remember is that it’s NOT an uphill battle. Here’s an easy workout plan for even the sloppiest couch potato so you can cross that finish line alone with the sweaty show- offs in the gym.
See that wasn’t so bad was it? It’s also important to remember to stretch so you don’t hurt yourself, and to make sure you’re ready for exercise.
“From Couch to 5K” is a great website, where this workout plan as well as more tips and tricks are explained. There are also tips for making yourself a healthy eater, which I’m sure we could all use. Check it out for yourself!

Don’t Go Broke Over Break
It’s hard enough to save money while at school, but have you ever noticed how you seem to fly through money when you leave for break? It’s not an unusual phenomenon, especially when all of your buddies from home want to get together every single night.
