This is something that I am going to need some help with. Mostly encouragement and let's be honest sometimes a little nagging from some people. My entire life, I have never been a runner. I see people running on the street and think one of two things- 1- They are insane to be running at this time of the year outside! or 2- Wow, that is really cool. I wish that I could just run like that. So my goal for this year is to become a runner. Now this is starting as a person who has never had any experience running, in fact I hated that part in PE classes.
The reason for this sudden change? Not sure really, maybe a combination of different things, the desire for change, the desire to have something happen for me this year, I don't know. I just know that I need to do this. So the goal is to run in the Provo City Half Marathon on Halloween. That gives me 11 months to get ready for it. I am going to start slow, and by the spring I hope to be able to do a 5k. Then in the summer do a 10k, and then get ready for the half marathon.
So for those of you who are runners, and have ran in races/marathons before, what did you do to train? Has anyone else started from point zero in training like me? anyone have any suggestions that will help me?
Please share! I have learned that the more people that you share your goal with, the more people you have to "answer to" And right now I think this will be the best motivator for me! If you need help with motivation for your goals, let me know what I can do.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
