an original mother's day gift!

...this mother's day (May 13), sign her (and you) up for a 5K race or walk that you can do together. Need to find a cool race/walk in your area? I like the Iron Girl events. Iron Girl is all about empowering women to be healthy, so their events (like triathalons and 5K race/walks) are geared toward being fun, and not necessarily super competitive. Plus, their website, irongirl.com helps you get in shape for your race with tips and message boards. Click here to find a race in your area.

Here are some more links to races you can do with your mom:
Susan G. Komen Race for the Cure

Make-A-Wish Foundation races and walks

Or, check out Runner's World's Race Calendar for other races in your area.

Have you heard of any races or walks in your area? Post to share the details! Or, post to share what you're getting your mom for Mother's Day!
