My biggest cheerleaders, all bundled up - it was super cold! Nice for running though.
After the run and I'm still alive! One of my 50 life goals is to run a half-marathon. This was a step in the right direction:) Here I am with my cheerleaders and my running coach. Rob ran cross country in high school and looooves it. He has given me lots of great pointers.
Of course you were born to be a runner. Look at that fit physique! You can totally run a half marathon (or more) if you stick with it. I'd like to suggest that if you're willing to consider a training program that incorporates walking breaks, you could honestly be running your half marathon before you know it. Walking breaks taken very early on and at regular intervals can actually improve your time and help you recover better. So you run, say, five minutes and walk one min all the way through--or whatever interval feels comfortable. I'm sorry to get all long winded on you. It's just that, when I started to run long distances, I read a training book that advocated this method, and it was a real breakthrough for me. This is how I trained my husband to run his first half marathon and first full marathon last spring. I'm so proud of you Jami. What a champ! You're looking terrific.
ReplyDeleteNice work! Way to go. You look beautiful btw.
ReplyDeleteThat is awesome Jami!! Great accomplishment. My Dad runs the same way as Melissa's comment above run 5min walk 1min. He told me he timed himself and he ran faster. Love your fans!!! We should have been there!
