Running

My Blogs about running :)

 

 

 

How it began...

Spring of 2012 I started working out routinely.  I would walk about 4 miles at a local

trail and go for walks with a good friend of mine and her beautiful

baby boy who is the same age as M.  I started running with M ina jogger and lost 10 lbs.  Fast.

 

Seriously. Pushing a jogger is no joke.  I was pushing 35lbs of baby and stroller. 

No wonder the 10lbs fell right off!

 

This was great motivation for me to continue working out.  I was also using it as a stress relief as I was (and still am) going through a divorce.  As we all know running releases endorphins, works your muscles, including your heart, and generally makes you healthier both physically and mentally. It was just want I needed.

 

My uncle asked me if I wanted to run a half marathon with him and 2 of my other uncles.  So, I started training for a half marathon.  I can currently run a little over 6.5 miles and am running my first race this weekend, an 8k, which is roughly 5 miles, so I know I can complete it :-).

 

So, my transition to becoming a runner started and turned into something I really enjoy.  This section of my blog will discuss my journey as a runner.  Any helpful tips/advice is more than welcome!

Be well,
