Book Review

I just finished a book entitled Born to Run by Christopher McDougall. I cannot speak highly enough of it. It was an amazing story of his journey to find out why his foot hurt and the people he met along the way. It was very insightful and inspiring to me. I encourage you to read it! I am looking for other inspirational running books, so if you know of any, let me know. I run in the Cleveland 1/2 marathon in 103 days!

A Reminder: 154 days

It just seems impossible that the Cleveland Experience is coming soon in May. I will be running in a half marathon there. A friend, who encouraged me to do so, reminded me that next month I need to register. I am not ready. I feel so inadequate. I ran during the summer and fall in various races, but have not ran in a race since Thanksgiving at a local 5K Turkey Trot. Snow has already fallen and to be honest, I do not like to run in snow or cold weather. I have been doing pilates and yoga, but it is not the same. I want to workout at the local YMCA but unfortunately, due to financial circumstances, we cannot afford it at this time. I have found that soup cans and  laundry detergent bottles are amazing weights! I look forward to going in May. I have never ran in a half marathon before, so it will be a great adventure, but I acknowledge it may be difficult. I will do my best to finish! Hurry up Spring!
