Learning to Run...


Uhhh What did I say ...
Running?
I believe I am losing my mind.
Have I gone mad?
Back from vacation, knowing what I had said and wanted to do.

But how?
I am not a runner, I even dislike it, why did I say I wanted to do this?
Yep, I know why "it's a run through Disney".

Where do I start, how do I start ...
Oh Boy ...

With our great phones and apps, I'll probably find an app, which can help me to learn how to run.
I found an app "RunTrainer".
So that was nice at least I could learn to run.
It has different training programs, also a free trail, don't know if that is still the case but they did when I started running.
There are a lot of running apps to make a start.

Running...
Goal the 5K MagicRun in September of 2018.
For me it seemed like a half marathon.
After a lot of postponing and excuses I started with a little training in February of 2018.
It became really serious in April of 2018 after I booked my RunDisney Race.

Running was so hard to do.
A minute was so heavy.
So my runs were 30 seconds or less and then walk again.
Thought everyone looked at me, I'm sure people looked at me weird.
I also thought I was weird so it made sense that people would look at me that way.

Still after almost a year and a half, I run on a run/walk method, but this time the program is created by the former Olympian Jeff Galloway.
I found his method after my first RunDisney Weekend.

If I can learn to run at the age of 41, anyone can do it.
Everyone can run on this schedule, and if you start running more often, you become better and you can run longer.
