Thank you, thank you Joy for your support and encouragement:) Now, you only have to get down here to make sure that i do it...
Well, i think that for a 10k run, you sort of basically can just put on your shoes and just run.. But that wouldn't work for a half marathon...there's got to be a strategy of some sort, so..to improve my running and get my self motivated, i got new shoes. I've used Reebok, Saucony, Adidas, New Balance, and Nike's and i prefer Nikes the best. I tried on the Lunar Glide, Lunar elite, Nike Vomero and Triax 13. The Lunar Elite didn't have enough cushioning , the Vomero's too much cushioning..so it was between the Triax 13 and Lunar Glides...the Lunar Glides were in a nicer color...so i got them:)
And i am basically clueless about training for a half marathon, so i got my self a book..it's the Runner's World Complete Book of Women's Running. Well..i have read a few pages...which is sort of good, since i actually removed the wrapping and have opened the book. So far I've just learned that one shouldn't skimp on shoes and running bras. So, i guess I'll just have to rely on Joy's running plan. I like the one with 3 weeks of serious running and 1 week of easy runs. That sounds like fun...
I have also joined a running group, but so far haven't exactly done more that receive confirmation that i am now in that group:) Which is a good start...at least i know that i have comrade in arms somewhere in this city.
Well.....getting another running partner...that is in the works. I've got someone who runs with me once a week. She's started from running zero to 10kms in 4 months, a real trooper and has buckets and buckets of enthusiasm...helloooo Lulu!!!!! Lulu has also signed us up for an off road, 14km trail run which promises to be a mud fest sometime later this year...yay.....
So with all the motivational mechanisms in place, i should be gearing to go.....well, maybe tomorrow...
