Yep, that equals a distance of 10K.  Runners and walkers: The 2010 Ukrop's Monument Avenue 10K in Richmond, Virginia is coming up fast.  March 27th.  Training has already begun for many individuals and groups for the 11th annual race.  Hosted by Sports Backers, this Richmond race has become more popular each year.  Several organizations, including Sports Backers, provide training for novices and runners to help prepare for this adventure.

Whether you are a first-time participant or are back again for another try to improve your time, you will be in good company.  Cheered on by the crowd and pumped up by the bands, it will not matter if you are by yourself or with a group. You are going to meet some new friends, reconnect with old friends, and have a lot of fun.

Don't forget to include massage as part of your training regimen.  If this is new or increased physical activity for you, massage is great for relaxation, as well as easing any stiffness, aches or pains that occur.  Having a little foot massage would be wonderful too. 

So keep up the hard work and make your appointment online ASAP. Your body will appreciate it.
