The toll running/training is taking on my body!!! It's a good thing.


Right now I am in the heart of Week 3!!of my training for the half down in Moab in March.  It feels really good! But there are some things I have notice....Running takes a toll on the body and I have learned a few things that really should be considered or better yet I should have considered:
  • This is HARD!!!!!
  • Having the right shoe is a MUST.
  • Having the right sportsbra is even a bigger MUST.
  • Running with a purpose helps.
  • Postive comments from others are so NEEDED...seriously, this is really hard and to have people send encourging words is so wanted, appreciated and motivating.  So please send them.
  • Have a group you can depend on and know they will push you when you need it.  Not to mention, there to hold you up when you want to stop...thanks to my girls.
This has been so good for me.  My body has been enjoying the new found energy.  14.5 lbs got lost somewhere. Things are getting tighter and firmer.  Dave is...well ya know....  I am loving this running thing...

  2. Way to go! Finishing feels awesome, and honestly? It is almost more exciting to jump right back into training after having finished your first goal. Keep up the awesome work!

  3. The right shoe and sports bra. We must discuss because what I've got going on isn't going to cut it. Seriously. Did you break down and get something? If not, maybe we should go together.
