Welcome!!
There are a lot of different reasons why people run: to lose weight, to get in shape for sports, to evade the cops, to exercise their dogs... I run because I love it. In fact, I'm obsessed with it. It's what I do, what I read about, what I talk about and what I think about when I'm not running. So, I thought that I'd share some of what I've learned about it over the past couple of years with those who might be just starting out or are a little curious about why people run. My real goal is to show people that ANYONE can be a runner - and a good runner to boot. So, in future posts, I'll be sharing tips that will take any middle-of-the-pack-er (like myself when I started), and turn them into a top runner!!

ReplyDeleteYou are very right with COMMITMENT!
I just finished my first 1/2 I'm and while I was happy to complete it, was very disatisfied with my time, which was a direct result of not committing to the swim and run, which are (2) and (3) on my favourites list.
Realizing I need to commit to these areas, I will now train full time for a marathon in October to get my run in shape and commit to the training schedule and I will up the swimming to 2-3 workouts / week as well...
Keep up the great writing - look forward to reading more in the future!
Thanks a bunch man. Congrats on finishing a Half-Iron; that's a huge accomplishment. I'm planning a Half-Iron on my way to my first Ironman next August in Louisville and I can't wait.
