Running Success

Awesome job!! I agree with every one else - just keep pushing, even when you don't feel like it. Somedays the hardest part is just getting out of the door. When I started my fitness journey almost 3 years ago I couldn't even run 1/4 mile of the way around a small parking lot without feeling like I was going to pass out - and I HATED running. Last March I completed my first half marathon and I'm signed up for another one in December. I didn't run all of the way on the one in March but I did make it 10 miles before I had to walk. My goal for the one in December is to run the whole thing! I started with running as far as I could (which wasn't very far at all in the beginning) and then I just kept adding distance. Pretty soon I ran a 5K, then a 10K, then a 15K and finally the half. The C25K programs are great and really help. I also joined a running group through one of our local running stores. I really recommend getting involved ina running club if you have the time. It was great to be with people who were working toward the same goals that I was.

I have just joined a running class. It's a group that meets twice a week and run. We are going to pick a 5k do together.
