Bit Off Too Much???

Maybe you can do some SoWal.com advertising- wear a pair of shorts with SoWal.com on the butt!

You so funny!

Great idea! Now if this is a mini iron man you'll have to wear a bannana hammock

Oh SJ--you knew your simple question about running would shift to butts and banana hammocks!

The friend I spoke of took donations and wrote the names all over...shirt, shorts, arms, legs. There was a photo in the Nashville paper. It was really cool to see the names of people being honored or memorialized for cancer. He earned quite a bit of $$$$$$ to donate to cancer research.

I believe there's a running coach with a 2nd home in Blue Mountain. Last year, he did a clinic or two, organized through the store named Run (for your life). Run is on the S/S of 30A in that new shopping center next to the old Goatfeathers. Missy, the owner of Run can probably get you hooked up with him. It seems silly to hire someone to teach you how to run, but as my joints get creakier, I've been thinking about getting with him myself. Sadly, I've become too busy for my 4 mile walks, and need to switch to running.
I walked the 5K last year; that event is absolutely fabulous.

On a different note, SJ, is your canoe white?

Sj must have started his training regimen this morning- look out SoWal! Wonder if it will be hard to run while holding his camera and taking pictures?

I am getting some great ideas from you guys. I like the SoWal ad -- maybe I will wear a WoWal sticker, or make my own shirt, with permission ffrom the holder of the copyright ;-). The fundraiser came to mind very briefly, but I will have to think about that. (This is my first race). Trainer? Not for my first event. I have a few friends who I may seek for advice. They are hardcore, maybe too hardcore for me, but they started somewhere. One competed in Hawaii Ironman, and the other is currently training, trying to qualify for Hawaii Ironman.

Thanks

...and no, my canoe is not white.;-)

Here is a link to the Ky Derby Festival mini- marathon training schedule. No, you won't end up in the infield! This is a Louisville tradition that has been going on since I was young, and every year we know people that run it for the first time. Training starts in Jan for a May race, and everyone is always talking about their training schedule. Whole offices of people form a team and train and run together.

Hey SJ-

Here's a link to a training schedule for beginners that starts 12 weeks out, starting with 2 mile runs.

It may not be exactly what you are looking for, but it's worth a shot. I ran track in high school and wanted to run a marathon before I turn 30, but it's been forever since I've run, too. I'm still thinking about it, but it is so hard to get back into it! Once you do, though, you feel like you can run forever. Start running at a pace where you can still carry on a conversation, the goal is distance, not speed. Then, once you can run further, you can work on speed if you're really concerned about time. Otherwise, just run at a comfortable pace.

Just act like you're running from the Funns! :funn:
