I am a runner!
It's amazing that how in your youth you don't realize what is good for you. In High School I was on the track team. I actually didn't like it all that much but my Coach pushed me. I was the only black girl on the team so I think she expected a lot from me. She didn't really get it. She suggested I do long distance and I quite firmly in my wanting to do short distances. I didn't want to run for that long. The quicker it was finish the better it was or me back then. I ran only the 100 meters, 200 meters & 400 meters. I wasn't really good in either but it was short and sweet.
A year ago, I got back into running and I fell in love! I was so much in love that I decided to run a half marathon. The beginning of this year I ran my first half marathon and finish with a 2:15 time. Wasn't happy with that. So, now I'm training for my second half marathon, taking place on September 9, 2007.
This will be my blog to document this.

I look forward to reading about your progress. I too am training for a half marathon, but it will be my first.
Kat, that's the same thing that my coaches told me. That I had a natural stride for long distances... I loved sprinting though. But now I'm running distances too! Good luck!
Glad to see your enthusiasm for running. Check out Amy's postings about running on http://blog.runnerslounge.com. She has good insights. Good luck preparing for your half marathon--and keep up the good posting.
