I Run...But I'm NOT A Runner!


by Dawn Miller

What a great week!  I spent most of my time being educated and putting a plan in place. 

Step 1:               Read the book - Half Marathon:  You Can Do It!                
Step 2:              Recruited a running partner
Step 3:              Attended a Good Form Running clinic
Step 4:              Bought  running shoes with the advice of an expert 
Step 5:              Joined the 2012 Lansing Marathon Planning Committee
Step 6:              Put a running/workout/meal schedule (from the book) on my refrigerator
Step 7:              Bought a journal to chart my progress


I believe, that for many, the challenge of running teaches individuals that they have unused hidden resources that can be used to deal with other challenges in life. Much of the success and joy comes from a unique endurance blending of body, mind and spirit.  If you haven’t done this before, you have one of life’s great rewards waiting for you as you discover that you have much more strength inside than you envisioned.

Next Week:  Training Begins
