I’m Gonna Run To Be Active In 2015

Alright, I am going to put this out there. My goal for 2015 is to get ready run in the Disney Princess Royal 5K with my little princess in February 2016.

Whew! I said it, that means there’s no turning back now because I have put it out there. K and I will run in the 5K. We will do it for fun, and we will do it for health. 

That gives me a year to get myself in running shape. A whole year. It sounds like plenty of time for a 5K, in theory. But I am so not a runner. (Ya’ll runners, don’t laugh even a 5K seems like a HUGE goal for me.) In fact, last time I got up the gusto to go running, I ran just a few blocks and hurt my toe. No joke, my toe. 

Still I am ready to do this. I am ready to show my daughters that it is important to be active. So, I’ll lace up my sneakers and pull on my new running clothes. (Yep, I decided I needed a new outfit to inspire me.) It’s time to make 2015 an active year!

Everyone has goals and different ideas about how they want to be active. Wether you are already an active runner or you love to travel or even if your days are spent carting your kids to and from their favorite activities it is important to keep your body and bones strong. 

Maintaining strong bones is something many of us (myself included) often take for granted. We concentrate on eating right and drinking enough water for all of the other aspects of health, but thinking about our bones that is often last on the list. 

The problem with that is that around 70% of women are calcium deficient, which puts them at risk for Osteoporosis.

Because our bodies don’t product calcium, we must replenish it through food and supplements like Viactiv. To maintain healthy bones, adult women (ages 19-50) need at least 1000 mg. Viactiv Calcium Soft Chews are the #1 doctor-recommended calcium supplement chew. Available in milk chocolate, sugar-free milk chocolate and caramel soft chews, two Viactiv chews are a tasty way for women to make sure they get 100% of the daily value of calcium plus vitamins D & K.

Now Viactiv is also available in tropical flavored gummies that are gluten and dairy free.
