So I have started running again, I’ve been back at it since
December 2012. Not wanting to overdo it at first, I just started off walking,
then walking and jogging till I progressed to the running only stage. I took my
time as I am looking long term and wish to put off any injuries if possible.
From December till now (6/4/13) I have lost 18 pounds of useless
weight and feel so much better. I am trying to eat good but still fall for the
junk food now and again but overall am doing good with the diet. When I say
diet I am not trying to lose weight, I am eating the same amount if not more;
it’s the exercise that has burned off the extra weight.
Here in South Florida all the good races are in the cooler months
and I wanted to get in at least one race before it got too hot. I found the
Singer Island Half Marathon coming up on April 27 and this would probably be
the last long race before summer in my area so decided to sign up.
I figured I would not be completely prepared but would use it for
practice so I can get the feel for races again – also it would be the longest
race I have run.
But soon after signing up decided that maybe I should try a 5K
tune up race first to be better prepared for this supposed practice Half Marathon.
More on that later…
