Sweat365 - Move more - every day!
I wanted to get 30 miles this week, so I went to the gym a slowly jogged 2 miles. I did some light strength training and ab work. Happy Easter!
Workout:
Although I got a late start, I’ve been a serious runner since 1994. I ran my first marathon in 1995 on my 30th Birthday. It’s been my goal to run the Boston Marathon since then. I missed qualifying by 12 minutes that year. I needed to run 3:40 and ran 3:52. Running in the most prestigious marathon, is the ultimate for most runners. The fact that you have to qualify, only fueled my competitive juices.
Over the next 9 years I ran 6 more marathons. I love running so much that I became a personal trainer and running coach in 2001. I continued to train and came within 4 minutes of my goal in 2003, when I ran 3:49. I was seriously hoping to qualify in 2004, but it didn’t happen. I had flare ups of plantar fasciitis off and on since I began running. In 2006 I ran 5 half marathons. Apparently this was too much for my body to handle. My plantar fasciitis became acute. I had to take time off to heal. (more...)

Hello Lisa, I am Greatful that you liked my story, We all have our own and I really loved yours.
When I face challenges weather it’s running related or not I still read My story and think back to when I thought all was lost and I had nothing to hope for but hope itself, I know from a first hand experience that if our body and mind are aligned in the same goal every challenge is is only a small bump in the road.
Lisa I see you left me a question back on Mar 8. I found this web site and signed up for it but did not check any messages until today. I started to try to start training on Easter could not sleep so I got up and went for a bike ride. I just got back from another one today. To answer your question I have not been able to find a sprint race in my area, I am trying to find something so that I have a deadline to shoot for. I have never done anything like this before, but I just want a goal to help me stay on track for getting into shape, Thanks for you comment..
I’m a Marine so I’ve always ran, but nothing that would be considered serious training. I downloaded Hal Higdeon’s running program for half marathons and I’m following that for the next 12 weeks.
Thanks Lisa. I’m a little nervous because this is my first event ever. The support from people like you is amazing!
You are lucky..listen to your body. I had to drop out of Boston due to constant knee problems..sigh..but I will be there to cheer everyone on!!
