If you’re planning your own 5K, make sure to run past some nice scenery. For instance, if you live on the coast, why not map out a path along the water? You can plot your run to be a circle so you end up back at home or extend your day by ending at a park where you can enjoy a pleasant rest. Once you’ve recovered, head to your favorite brunch spot. After all, you’ve earned it after your workout!
