How to run
It made me
Ecstatic
 "Challenging but sooo rewarding."
How I did it: When I was younger I was always sick and had many health problems. It was hard for me to accept that I couldn't even run a 1/2 mile. As I got into holistic health and turned around my life, I realized I could probably get into running and get in shape now that I had my asthma and other health problems under control and wasn't suffering from all the side effects of the medicines I stopped taking. Three years later, after slowly working my way up, I am able to run a 5k in 40 minutes. Which isn't even a really good time, but I'm so proud of myself from where I started. My next goals are to get my times down and eventually to run a marathon! Lessons & tips: Don't give up. Even if you can't even run around the block to begin with. You will get there. Always commit to going a certain distance. Even if you can't run the whole distance, at least walk the whole thing. You will get more of a workout that way and also if you're pressed for time it might inspire you to run further than you think you can to cut down the time! Also, I do my best running alone. Even now, I find it hard to run more than a mile with other people because it's hard to find your own pace. You always want to keep up with your friends and it makes it harder, at least for me.

It made me
feel accomplished
How I did it: I went with my friend Cassie to Devou Park. Actually, I've been trying to go with some friends to the gym, but they haven't been going lately, and my wisdom teeth are coming in so for half a week I was lying around in pain... I suppose that's still no excuse! At Devou, I didn't really run. we mostly walked, but I'm putting this as finished because it made me feel really good doing it, and now I know I'll want to continue doing the exercise!

Feel born again lol!
How I did it: I started off running just to loose weight really, as I progressed I started to challenge myself and before long I was running much further than I anticipated which provided me with a real buzz! It wasn't easy though, a few injuries here and there and my lack of patience meant that I did the hard way - at the moment I currently run 10 miles in about 1 hour 30 minutes so I'm pleased my aim is to complete a marathon.

How I did it: I run...every day of the week, except weekends. They are my break days! While running is hard when you begin your workout it gets easier as you go along. Finishing a good run is quite exhilarating! Read how I did it…
It made me
Feel strong & happy
How I did it: I started by cleaning up my diet & detoxing through abstinence. Then I began walking 2 miles a day. After that felt good, in about 2 weeks I started running 2 miles x 6 days. I gradually built up to 4 miles x 6 days. I use a GPS watch. I track my eating & running in DietPower & I make time to run as a number one priority. Read how I did it…

Daughter and I jogged and chatted for 2km.
Back is still tender, but it felt good to run again.
Must take this easy, when I would rather push it.
50 year old backs. Sigh.
The treadmill is gentler on it than the grassy paths.

today I drove to the bottom of the big hill with the dog, we parked and ran up it…......up,up, along, up, down the stairs, turned around and back up the stairs ( there are over 100 stairs, very steep :) 0, along, back down the big hill and then turned around and did the whole thing over again. About 40 minutes in total. The bonus of this run was the absence of traffic and goats.
Getting started......

I do odd “random” runs at the moment, but would love to do it more regularly and so that I can’t wait to get out there. I need a little self motivation…3 times a week would be great to start with.
wednesdays run...................ditto

it wasn’t pretty but we made it. the dog had a goat incident on the way home though. we came around the corner on the road and there were two white goats standing there looking at us…...... Duke took off after them with me yelling at him. Once he has something like a bird or wild animal in chase there is no stopping him. It was some un needed stress at the end of an otherwise stressfree run :)

too much red red wine last night. I really struggled with my run today. So did the dog and he didn’t even have anything to drink last night :) . Went the usual route with a lot of walking thrown in. So glad I went though!
