First, register now for The Daniel Plan Fun Walk & Run on June 11. It’s a 5K (3.1 miles), 10K (6.2 miles) and Kids Run on and around the Lake Forest campus of Saddleback Church. Here are the Course and Event maps, Race Day Instructions, as well as Dr. Daniel Amen’s Top Tips for Race Day and Tom Wilson’s article about Overcoming Training Obstacles. Dr. Oz also chips in a video about finding the right exercise shoe.
