  
You’re about to finish your third week of the challenge.
WOW! You're almost to your 5K race — you should be proud!
Here’s what Coach Jason has to say about that:
“Woot! The 5K is a fantastic race distance for a new runner — short enough to be manageable but long enough to challenge yourself.
If it’s going to be your first race, you might be kind of nervous. But you're in for a real treat. Racing is a thrill and one that pits you against yourself. When you’re out there, don't worry about or compare yourself to any other runners. You're there to compete against you — and nobody else.
Have fun, enjoy the spectacle of road racing, and trust in all the hard work you've done. You will be ready!”
Here's your warm up for the day:
 Donkey Kicks
Get on all fours with your wrists under your shoulders and knees under your hips. Keeping your knee bent at 90 degrees, lift one leg behind you until it reaches hip height. Squeeze your glutes and keep your foot flexed and your back straight. Do 15 reps, then switch sides and repeat.  Mountain Climbers
In a push-up position with your wrists under your shoulders and your feet hip-width apart, bring one knee toward the inside of your elbow. Keep your back straight and neck neutral while squeezing both your abs and glutes. Alternate sides and repeat until you’ve done 15 on each side.  Iron Cross
Lie on your back with your arms outstretched and your shoulders and upper back against the floor. Rotating at the hip and torso, bring one leg across your body diagonally toward the opposite hand. Alternate sides and repeat until you’ve done 15 on each side.  More From BuzzFeed Do you know someone who would love the Goodful newsletter?
