Running

I just went running tonight! I am so proud of myself!

I used to run a lot, but towards the end of the summer I completely stopped.

Since then I haven't been able to get motivated to do it again...until today!

I want to run in the LI half marathon on May 4th. I've never run that far! The farthest I've ever run is 8 miles, but I think I can do 13 if I get my butt in gear. Anyone else interested in doing it?

Re: Running

Go for yours!!!

Email me some of your motivation, would ya!

I used to run everyday and I haven't gone running since last summer. I really need to get my feet pacing that pavement. (But sorry, don't think I'll make it through a marathon. You'd end up carrying me to the finish line.)

Re: Running

I'm proud of you too ... I want to pick up running again but I HATE running on the treadmill and won't be able to run outside until probably March!
I give you tons of credit!

When is the LI marathon ... the longest I ever ran was 10 miles! I'm sure with determination and will, you can do it!

Re: Running

I HATE running on the treadmill too. I just can't do it. I ran last night and it wasn't bad. Once you start running you don't really notice that it is cold.

The LI marathon is May 4th. You can do a 1/2 marathon or the full marathon. I am going to try for the 1/2 marathon. I keep telling myself 13 miles is not that far.

There is also a Suffolk County Half Marathon in April, but I think I will need the extra time

Re: Running

I run the LI half Marathon every year and I do it with a friend...we really have the best time...we are both pretty active runners and go at the same pace, but whenever one wants to stop we both do...

one year she had a long story to tell me about her then boyfriend and we didn't stop talking about it until mile 10 then we realized we only had a little bit more to go...

now we purposefully don't talk about anything (unless where to meet and time) for a week before...

If I run alone...I need music...I will even sing to myself to make the time go by...

good luck
