How to start running again
It made me
Fit
 "I enjoyed it so much I decided to run a marathon "
How I did it: I made sure I made running a priority, even if it meant that I had to get up at 5:00 in the morning to do it! I never enjoyed getting up super early, but really after I got out and started running, I was happy that I had made myself get out there to do it. I also enjoyed going to work knowing that I had already put in my daily run. Not only that, I gave me more energy. I have been back into my running route for quiet a while, so I even decided it was time for me to train for a marathon. It just took a lot of time and dedication, but I am so happy I did it. Lessons & tips: I just think that in a 24 hour day I should always be able to find 30 minutes of it where I can run. Resources: I realized that I am just as tired when I get up at 6 am to get ready for work, why not get up an hour early so I can fit a run in and then I get to feel good about it all day! |

Overjoyed
How I did it: The hardest part is always getting started. I have two energetic dogs and a very small backyard. Walking calms them and soothes my brain, gives me time to wander and reflect. Their enthusiasm during walks is often infectious, and we often end up sprinting. Worn-out dogs are well-behaved dogs.I hate the first ten minutes of a run. That never gets better. However, if you can push past the burning lungs an… Read how I did it…

fabulous
How I did it: I was always active; I did track before, but I stopped because of the time constraints. So it was a couple years since I ran. I finally decided to seriousy start running in September. I first took baby steps running outside and the treadmill. I started running in any weather, even in blizards. If I was going to be successful I was going to "Just Do It". Read how I did it…

Excited
How I did it: Why? 5 years ago, I was finishing up high school and my running ability was in marathon range. I started smoking by the end of my senior year, quit running, and ate extremely unhealthy. It wasn't until recently as in this last month that this certain female made me realize that as much as she liked my personality that I physically wasn't up to par with her. This was also one of the reasons for my last break up.&nbs… Read how I did it…
It made me
cheery
How I did it: I started off small by walking. Next, I did a of indoor cardio work. Then, I started jogging outside. Last, the jogging progressed to running. Week 1: walked. Week 2: dance. Week 3: jogged. Week 4:jogged/ran. Read how I did it…
It made me
refreshed and happy
How I did it: I was home on vacation from school, and it was a beautiful day outside. I decided, at 7:00 that night, to go for a run. It was refreshing; I had little trouble breathing and my legs felt fine. I was already in good shape because of bike riding, but the next morning I woke up and my legs hurt terribly.

Marci is a good friend of mine that has motivated me to start running again. She needed a running partner and I know I need one if I am going to get back into it. We did our first run together a couple Saturdays ago and then again last Tuesday morning. I have been logging my miles on dailymile.com which has been a really motivating site to turn to.
We should running together tonight since our yoga class got cancelled. Plus, it is beautiful outside!

day 2 and i am feeling really good…
that whole rush of running, having very detailed feelings about your body and very intimately witnessing how your blood is pumped, where it goes, and how you need to be grateful for that…and how your breath really really is a wonderful thing.
i love the music around me, “Pluto” pushes me like no other song, i use it for my home stretch—-where i run with all my might, just giving my heart that final , very necessary high…right before i slow down to some Olaf Arnalds and kiss this day away…
my heart is heavy though, i am emotional± and there is something missing, all the endorphins seem to just bring this up even more…what is it? i hope its not love. my damn mushy heart.

I went running for the first time in months...
2 months ago
this morning, at 3.30am. I have to be in a very particular mood to do anything at all. And so it was such that the ‘now or never’ mood drove me to go jogging into the dark, unknown and questionable area that I have so recently moved into.
Another reason for running at 3am is that very few people are around to see me jiggling along the pavement like an overripe tomato!
It didn’t go too badly, I must say. I expected to topple over clutching my insides after a mere five minutes. I did feel disgustingly wobbly and unfit, but I managed to run for around twenty minutes all in all.
Hopefully I can fit in some running on Tuesday. I pray that I can stick to some form of routine.
Must eradicate overly-feminine jigglyness.
it's all in the breathing--
2 months ago
i’m a firm believer in breathing and stretching.
it’s been an incredibly long time since i’ve ran—-and i’m going for it right now.
a couple of things need to go as planned before this is successful:
1- careful and excessive stretching.
2- timed itunes playlists
3- switch that internal pacer on.
4- change for water at the rest stop.
5- gotta go before the crowd piles up!! NOW!!
my aim is to pace myself, do a good hour, with a combination of running/jogging/walking/ whats important is to remain in constant motion//
except while waiting in line for water.
because i’m not going to be one of those people who jog in line.
- no judgment - it’s just not my style.

Once my foot is healed, I am going to start running again. I miss running! I can’t sleep as well, and I feel sluggish. Not to mention the 16 lbs I’ve gained, and all the muscle I’ve lost from being crippled for 8 weeks now.
::sigh:: I will be uncrippled soon. Hopefully!
in the beginning...

I started running again this week. First day, I hit my stride half way through the run. It felt great! My run wasn’t that strong, but I made it and so did my big dog.
Day One

I used to run religiously, but I stopped a while back and things went downhill, so to speak. I went out to run this morning and it was wonderful. I feel great and know that it’s the right thing to do, physically and mentally.
