I haven't done one yet, only 10k but I think it may be a one time thing. I constantly get down and bug myself over 11 and 12 minute splits but I need to learn that's ok. I'm doing way more than a lot of people. I've also lost 90 pounds because of running.Maya Anna Photographyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08450023919906574500noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-19199594351623244252018-04-25T15:25:04.979-04:002018-04-25T15:25:04.979-04:00Hi Katie!

I’m registered to run my 5th half in the Fall and then I think I’ll be taking a break and sticking to the 10k distance as my long weekend runs. I don’t want to dread my distances anymore... I’m kind of over it. :) glad to know I’m not alone! ❤️ericathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12149920088870915955noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-12903704617396200542018-04-23T12:02:13.904-04:002018-04-23T12:02:13.904-04:00Yay for you Katie!Yay for you Katie!Tracie @ Somewhat Awryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942000087269422422noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-30356962091012456632018-04-21T00:01:24.417-04:002018-04-21T00:01:24.417-04:00So, I've read your blog for a VERY long time a...So, I've read your blog for a VERY long time and even started at the beginning to "catch up". In this time reading your blog, I've gone from beginning runner to injured runner to recovering from surgery (stupid achilles) runner twice now. I have personally adapted the 30 minute rule recently.

I'm interested to hear more about you and Jerry, specifically how you deal with and grow your relationship having "nothing in common" as you say... my husband and I are the same way and I'd love to get some ideas. You've been together so long, whatever you're doing must be working. <br />Thanks for sharing your life withElainahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18047432814721439654noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4904256286279591900.post-92117004715161781672018-04-20T09:17:06.968-04:002018-04-20T09:17:06.968-04:00I think that of all the positives to come out of t...I think that of all the positives to come out of this training cycle, it sounds like running with Jerry was the biggest! What a great way to be able to bond together as husband and wife instead of the demands of "parenthood" all the time. <br /><br />Congrats on finding the new freedom!

Back in December I signed up for a half marathon in May but my training went so poorly :( I had minor knee pain but the biggest factor was no motivation. So now, my sister and cousin and I are going to do the relay half marathon instead!

It seemed like something you have to do because everyone loves running and it is so "easy" to do. But I figured out it is just not my sport. I never have that flow and it is always exhausting.

I signed up on a whim 8 weeks ago. Going from zero running to 6 miles has been scary, but exciting. The running hasn't been the hard part for me, It's pressure I put on myself to stay on schedule that had been driving me to tears. My toddler, weather, and farm life all seemed to conspire against me.

The next year I PRed in the 5K, 10k, and 15k. Last year I decided on a whim to run a half marathon and broke through a big PR by 3 minutes...I'm still waiting on a sub 2 hour half. I think taking time off the whole pressure of running races is a great idea, even if you never run another LyndseyHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13923069597424729005noreply@blogger.com
