Running Soon

I have not had a gym membership in the last four months. But it has been fine since I was disciplined to run regularly preparing for a half marathon that I ran on Oct. 5th. The last two months it has been harder to run since I have no goal and it is super cold in Dallas.

After my last run, I decided I would never do a half marathon again since my knees hurt so much after the race.

I guess I should never say never. I am now training for another half marathon in Pasadena on March 22. But this time I am walking it. After my race on Oct. 5th, Alvin's mom said that she wanted to walk one. So I was looking at the races in LA around the time Alvin and I are visiting her in March, and so Mom Lee and I are now getting ready to walk the race. I'm not sure how I will prepare. I might just do the same thing I did for my other race, but instead of running, I will walk during the trainings. This race also has a hill, so I need to do some hill training.

I also talked to AWong who is considering it. That would be so awesome to see her walk a 1/2 marathon.

I was going to start my training today, but I wake up and it is raining freezing rain. Ok, I will try again tomorrow.

Bethany,I already started my walking routine since the new year, with my pedometer attached, 7000, then 10750 (steps I mean) and am trying to make it 15000 today. This way 2,3 thousand more steps added daily I might make it to 12 miles by march. (I think 10,000 steps is about 2.5 miles.) Who is AWong? My brother Al? My sister Amy?
