Hey there!
So I ran yesterday. And, what started out as a bad run (really windy and cold) ended up to be great. I don't know what is the matter with me lately, I start out bad and then about 1/2 way through I feel great. At least that factor keeps me going. I was happy with my time and felt great afterwards. It may have had something to do with my post run meal, which wasn't too heavy. It consisted of grilled chicken breasts, raw carrots and steamed green beans.
Some advice was given to me from my friend Diane who is a great running and is running a 1/2 marathon soon was to sign up for a race, that would keep me motivated. I was hoping to find a 1/2 marathon in May to really get me going, but no such luck. I did find some 5K runs that I can do. Maybe there is something that I am missing. The 1/2 marathons and marathons around here are mostly in September and October.
One thing to bring up...Music. I love to listen to music when I run and because of my small ears, it has taken me awhile to find the perfect earphones that don't fall off or out. I finally have them and will go crazy if I have to use something else. They fall out the whole time!! Anyone else have this problem?
Also, I have heard that it is a big no no with serious race runners to use music during a marathon or big race...how do you feel about it? I think it should be OK. IF you train with it, it is going to be really hard to them race without it, right? Hmm...I guess the key is not to train with music then...but to me that is part of the fun. I love to hear a great song right when I are starting to get tired and then kick it into high gear.
Well, I plan to run today and find a race. There is a 5K race on April 26th, guess that is a start. Let me know if there is anything out there that you know of.
Happy running
