Are you a runner?

Are you a runner? I am!

However, I never would have imagined that I would become a runner. I started running using the Couch to 5K Running Program (http://www.coolrunning.com/engine/2/2_3/181.shtml) in August of 2010. It is a run/walk interval type of program that trains you to run a 5K (3.1 miles) within 9 weeks. It’s such a wonderful program because when you first start out, you don’t feel like a runner at all. But, by the time you cross the finish line of your first 5K, you’ll learn that you truly are a runner!

Enjoy the photo and poem below! It’s great motivation for newly minted runners, and those of us who need reminders and confidence boosters at times.

Run on my friends, run on!

  1. I started C25k May 16th last year, struggling with W1D1. Around W5 I felt like a marathoner! Then May 6th this year I actually became a marathoner! I love that program and I love what it teaches you! This image/quote is so true. All too often I hear my friends say, “oh, I just run 1,2,4,X miles … I’m not a runner.” Not true!
