Hey everyone, lets get our run on!!
I have recently started training for my very first half marathon, whoop whoop!!!! And boy do I mean recently (as in yesterday). I am currently following a 12 week training plan.

Week 2: Warm ups
I learned the hard way last week that I didn't properly warm up before my work outs. So this week I thought we would focus on proper stretching and warm. Since I am clearly no expert in this field, I would love to hear what you all do, duration, etc. to get ready to run. The challenge this week will be to make sure to get…
