i read in runners world this month that a great way to increase your motivation and stay on track with your training plan is to create and publish a personal blog. i've never tried this before, but was interested to see if it works. i figured today would be a good day to start, as it is two days after my second half marathon (nike women's half marathon in san francisco), and while i'm still sore, i find myself searching online for the next big race! i'm pretty sure this is normal behavior, but we'll see.
to give you a little background about me, i'm relatively new to the running game. i've always enjoyed being active, but didn't participate in many competitive sports, certainly never running. now that i'm post-college and travel for work, i've found that running is the best way to stay active when you are far away from your friends, gym, and sports equipment.
the problem is, i'm just not very good at running. it has taken me almost two years to be able to run a 5k without much pain. i still walk a little when running the half marathon, but i hope to improve in the coming years.
