Wouldn't life just be that much better if it looked more vintage? I think so...
Friends, I have some good news, I just found out that a few of my friends and I got accepted to run the Nike Women's Marathon this October in San Francisco. This will be the first 1/2 marathon I have ever run- in fact, I have never run more that 6 miles in my whole life! My dad says getting accepted was the easy part and I kinda agree. Man, it is going to be tough training to run this thing but at least I have plenty of time!
Do any of you run marathons? I would love some tips and ANY advice since I am basically going to learn as I go. I have already downloaded a few running apps for my iPhone and was told to sign up for 10k a a few months before the Nike race so I can get a feel for running a smaller race before the bigger one. But other than that, I am just running and taking spin classes a few days a week.
I just found your blog and I have to say...I love your style!
ReplyDeleteI am a beginning runner myself and would love to hear more about your adventures in running on your blog. That way...you're also accountable to us!
The only advice I have is stay well hydrated!
Congrats on deciding to run a 1/2, you're going to love it!! I swear by Jeff Galloway's run:walk program. I haven't had to deal with any injuries and I have gotten faster and can run harder through training!
ReplyDeleteYou should totally check it out!
Also - I LOVE that skirt! I wanted to get it soooo badly, but it was sold out by the time I went to buy it!

That skirt is super fly! I have ran 3 half marathons.AT the best advice I can givel you is run a lot!!! Don't focus on speed, just put in miles! Weight train at least twice a week, strong muscles = good runner! Stretch daily! Oh....and have FUN!!!
