May 6, 2011

I thought since I gave a little update yesterday, I would let you know how my five went yesterday. Not quite as good as my run on Tuesday. I ate a lighter breakfast and lunch because I knew we were having a big dinner and I just don't think I had enough gas to go on. I found though that I like going up hills almost as much as I like coming down them. For some reason when I come down I get a lot of side aches. The hills are just hard in general, but I usually have little to no pain. Running outside is such a great thing. I even did my run without my iPod because it was dead. This weather is wonderful and I love to focus on all the beauty out doors.

Introduction

I think for most people that will be reading this know my story, but for those of you that don't. Here it is. About a year ago I started running with a friend. I have never been a runner and never wanted to be a runner, but after having my third baby and nearing her first birthday I knew I had to do something or I would start packing on the pounds. When I heard a friend was running I decided I would try it. Another friend had once told me that it seemed like after she worked up to 4 miles she started to see a change in her body. After I ran that first time I decided I wanted to try and run 4 miles with out stopping. I was surprised when I was able to work my self up to 4 miles shortly after starting. Once I was able to run 4, I decide I would ask another friend if she wanted to go running. We start running together and before long with out knowing it I was training for the Top Of Utah Half Marathon. I ran the TOU Half last August and I am hooked. I am determined I have to run a marathon once in my life so I am shooting for the TOU Marathon this September. I started this blog because I want to be able to look back and see what runs I did and how I felt!
