No Excuses!

So after watching the Biggest Loser Contestants run a half marathon in 2 hours and 34 minutes, I think it was, I am motivated! Just think if these people who start out at weights well above the 250 mark and on multiple medications can do it in 10 weeks, then so can I. My husband and I were so inspired. Tara and Sione in particular ran the whole thing and never gave up. They both still weighed over 200 pounds and kept a 5 mph pace or better.

The first year I signed up for a 5K, I failed to run the entire thing, even with training. I always had in my mind that I could sprint but that I was not built for long distance. The next year after mentally deciding I could do it, I signed up for the 13 + mile half marathon and completed the whole thing without walking a step and only training for a month. I know that's not optimal from a safety standpoint but my point is it was possible. From personal experience, your size and shape are not your issue. Your mind is the issue. Can we do it? YES WE CAN!!

Don't forget to look up the AFCHALF taking place in August in San Diego this year. It's not only a beautiful course but a good one to start with if you've never ran one before. YOU CAN DO IT!!
