definitely check out races in your area. i just did a 10K turkey trot with my best friend this past sunday. we are doing an 8K in december - the rudolph ramble.
they are so much fun and you usually get great t-shirts and fun goody bags. now that i'm lifting heavy, i don't run very often - maybe once or twice a month when my best friend drags me out with her! but, i did the 10K with no problems...i think the excitement of the race really gets my adrenaline going!
Hey JenZ--- I've been running for about a year and I love it--- It is DEFINATELY addicting---- you just have to be careful with how your body reacts to the impact- I've had a few problems in my joints and with my legs from running to the point where I had to take it light on my leg routine (eek!) Did you run the race on Thanksgiving???? - GOOD LUCK
Hi PR! No, I wasn't able to run the T-day race but there is one on 1/18 that I would be available to do, so I'm planning on that. Maybe for Christmas I'll treat myself to some new sneakers.....
