Running in and of itself can be a lot of fun, but even more enjoyable can be competing in your first road race - in this case a 5k. Not only will you feel a sense of accomplishment for completing the run, but being around all those other like minded runners will be inspiring as well.
Let's get to it, and get you off the couch, out the door, and on your way to running your first 5k. Remember your goal here is to have fun, and complete the race. This training is for those of you who have been pretty sedentary, and are just getting back in the swing of things.
Week 1: Walk/Jog
Okay, in week one we're going to concentrate on getting you moving. Your goal is to run, walk, jog for 10 minutes at least 4 days this week. Jog for as long as you can. If you need to walk that's okay, but try to build up to a slow jog for the entire 10 minutes by day 4. Don't push it, slow is okay!
Week 2: More Jog Than Walk
Now you should have jogged at least one day last week for the entire 10 minutes. If not that's okay, but this week we're adding a little more time to the jog. Again the goal is to go four days this week, but 15 minutes of total time. Jog as long as you can, and walk if you need to, just be sure to make it a goal to jog for 10 uninterrupted minutes before weeks end.
Week 3: A Little bit Goes a Long Ways
Working up to week three you should be more comfortable jogging for at least 10 minutes at a time, and sometimes more. The little bit you've been doing has gone a long ways. This week we're going to add 5 more minutes to your total jogging/walking time, bringing you up to a total of 25 minutes for four days. Now your goal is to continue jogging uninterrupted for 15-20 minutes at a time before weeks end. Always go as long as you can without walking, if you can jog the entire 25 minutes very slowly that's great!
Week 4: Almost There
Believe it or not you're almost there. You should be able to jog uninterrupted for over 20 minutes at a time now, and this week we're going to add 5 more minutes to your daily jog. Per usual you will be jogging four days this week, but your ultimate goal this time is to be able to jog the entire 30 minutes by weeks end. It won't be as hard as you think since each week prior has prepared you for this.
Week 5: Race Week
You'll be running your first 5k at the end of this week. Take two easy jogs of 20 minutes each early in the week. Jog the entire 20 minutes, but don't push it.
Race Day!
On race day you'll be ready for your first 5k. Your goal is to jog for at least 30 minutes without walking. If you do this you'll be darn close to finishing at the end of 30 minutes if not done completely. What you'll find is that if you can jog 30 minutes straight, you'll be right in the pack of runners doing the same thing as you, not everybody is a speed demon!
Follow this plan, have fun with it, and in 5 weeks you'll be finishing your first 5k.

Ping Pong for Beginners: What You Need to Start Paddling Away
Ping Pong is a simple game that everyone can play. Because of the fact that it doesn't demand as much as other sports do, ping pong is very popular. You can play it in any weather, indoors, and you can also play it with minimal space.
Playing ping pong doesn't require you to be very fast on your feet or strong, you just need to have a good stamina, good reflexes and the ability to think fast.
To start playing ping pong, the first things that you need to have are the equipment. You need to have a ping pong table with a net, a ping pong ball, and two paddles. To keep score, simple pen and paper will do the trick. Or, you can try hanging a white board with a marker on the wall near the ping pong table.
Aside from the basics, you will see that ping pong is an inexpensive game. You don't need to spend a lot of money on accessories as you will just need clothes and pants that can let you move freely and shoes that are comfortable to wear. You can simply pick out anything that is inside your closet that is comfortable to wear and can let you move freely.
When it comes to your physical fitness, you don't have to be a star athlete in order to play ping pong. If you can climb a flight of stairs without wheezing when you reach the top, then you will have no problems playing ping pong.
To play ping pong effectively, you will need to have quick reflexes, good balance and agile wrists.
You need to have fast reflexes because ping pong will require you to hit the ball with your paddle back and forth between you and your opponent at a very fast rate until one of you misses the ball or makes a mistake. The wrists are also a factor as it will be the one that you will move to adjust the angle of the paddle. This is what controls where the ball will go.
Also, balance is important as ping pong is a fast paced game. Although you don't need to run fast to catch the ball, you need to know how to shift your body's weight and balance quickly in order to adjust to your next shot.
Lastly, ping pong is like playing chess but at a very fast rate. You need to know what strategy you should do on your next shot in order for you to win. Placing shots where you want them to be will trap your opponent and let you prepare for the big finish.
These are the basics things that you need to know about ping pong as a beginner. By remembering these things, you will have everything that you need to start paddling away.

What is the difference between the smooth and textured side of a ping pong paddle?
The textured side is there to provide a greater amount of spin to the ball as you do a slice shot.
