Ever since I started running, I realized everything I had heard over the years was true. Like, if you're tired, running (physical activity) will give you more energy than a nap.
I guess I'm turning into a real runner, who knew?!?! Saturday morning, I joined lots of other insane people like myself to slog through the hot Louisiana morning in support of GREAT (Great Results Equine Assisted Therapies) and had a fabulous time!!!
The 30th annual Firecracker 5K at Shreveport's Mall St. Vincent was a huge success with over 3,000 runners taking to the streets and it was an auspicious day for me, as it was my first attempt at a 5K since beginning my #C25K program!
My friend and running inspiration, Hillary Doyal, sent me this story earlier today. It's the story of a woman from right here in Shreveport, LA named Sarah Evans.
Last night during my Couch to 5K run, I wanted to put some extra pep in my step. Sure, I like to rock out, but there's just something about a good heavy/dirty bass line.
I'm pretty sure this Swedish reporter had the best of intentions as she tried to pace the two leading runners in the Stockholm Marathon presumably angling for an exclusive interview.
Recently, I started a very personal journey from my couch to running a 5K. Everyone has their own reasons for running, just like everyone has their own incentives for getting their shoes on and their butts out the door each morning before most people have hit snooze for the first time!
