Grab your running shoes! On April 15th Genevieve and Jared Padalecki will be running in the Boston Marathon. They are running to raise awareness and funds for Dream Big, which provides the opportunity for young girls to participate in sports that they otherwise would not be able to afford to do. The couple has raised over $17,000 so far. Head on over to RunPadsRun.com to find out more about Dream Big and how you could donate to this wonderful cause.

Genevieve has also recently teamed up with Trail Roots to create a customized training plan for anyone who would like to join Gen in her training for the marathon. She has linked the training plan in her latest blog on NowAndGen.com. Download Strava on to your smartphone and join in! This app lets you join Gen’s training club, Now and Gen 5k Challenge.

Along with being able to chat and encourage other members, you can keep track of your runs and activities. Working out alone but knowing you have a group of people behind you is definitely a big help when trying to stay motivated. We’ve joined the club and it’s great to see people encouraging each other to work out and be healthy. It’s free to join, we definitely recommend checking it out!

A big thank you to Genevieve and Jared for organizing all of this and for raising money for an excellent cause. We wish them the best of luck in the marathon! I’ll be there cheering them on!
