How to run half marathon
It made me
Very Happy!!!!!
 "It validated me that I can do this without stopping and walk!!!"
How I did it: I started to run three months ago. For a while I was always out of breathe and hated the idea of running. Then I started a high fiber diet and focused on losing weight. Two months later, I lost 10 pounds due to biking, bikram yoga and my running milage from 3-6-10-13-20. Just finished my second 1/2 marathon at 2:50:20. My next one I am aiming at 2:30:00. Lessons & tips: Never give up when it was hard and believe in yourself. Also, it really helps when your significant other is doing with u. Resources: High fiber diet, yoga and biking! |

I ran a 1/2 marathon today
16 months ago
The most i had ever ran was 10 miles. Today i went swimming and felt very good. I was planning on only running 3.3. Then i figured what the heck how about 6.6. I felt so good after the second lap its there that i decided i was going to complete the half marathon. It was interesting the last lap was tough. My arms were killing me and the back of my ankles were pretty sore. In the end i made it through.
Trying to become a runner
2 years ago
So, I am someone who runs, but I am not a runner. In my mid-30’s and naturally thin, it’s easy for me to run, but usually only a couple of miles. I would like to be more intentional with my running. I have run a 5k, but would like to run a 10k and then a half marathon, just to give me something to work toward and enforce some discipline.
This Sunday

is my first attempt at running a half marathon in Taupo – North Island of New Zealand. I wanted to do one before I reach 50 and that just happens to be two days after the race. Hopefully I’ll be able to tick I’VE DONE THIS next week.
