RE: Chilly Evening Run! {Come on Spring}

in #actifit6 years ago

You are a die hard runner! Have you ever tried to run a marathon? I see that you're going to do the half marathon but I'm sure you would manage the big one too!

You are so happy on that photo :) Running suits you very well. I probably wouldn't go at night either but if there are other people around then it should not be such a problem.

Good luck with the preparation! I'm sure you'll be the shining star :)

Haha, I wouldn't have been out there if I didn't have to go lead the warm-up! I was dreading it all afternoon because it was so chilly yesterday, but once I got into it I very much enjoyed it. It just goes to show you, even trainers need a little extra motivation sometimes, too. The good thing is the time changes here this weekend, so we move the clocks forward an hour. That means if I join again soon at least it won't be dark!

I am still on the fence about a full marathon. The half is just long enough to definitely be challenging, but I don't have to give up too much of my other fitness endeavors to train for it. I know if I wanted to train properly for a full marathon I would have to give up some of my strength training to run more. Perhaps I can think about that for when I turn 40 in three years. I think I would also like to do a destination marathon if I do ever do one. I would much rather run 26.2 miles somewhere beautiful and interesting than just in the streets I am used to running all the time.

I'm happy to have it on the calendar to know I will start training for it! It's always good to have set goals, right?
