Jan. 1 is Commitment Day to health and healthy lifestyle

Make a New Year’s resolution to live a healthy lifestyle in 2013 – and join 300,000 others in 30 cities making the same commitment on January 1,2013, Commitment Day, with a 5K run. In New York City, the racewalk starts at 11 AM at Pier 84 in Hudson River Park. Check the Commitment Day website for events in your city, which includes several cities in the On The Cheap network, including Denver, Indianapolis, Miami, Salt Lake City, Minneapolis and Columbus. Even if you chose not to join the 5k run, you can still commit to a healthy lifestyle in 2013 by vowing to spend less time as a couch or desk potato, and eating less junk food.
