Any runners out there? What do you think about, or do, while you're running?
Antjewel:
Wonderful ideas everyone. I will try that book idea Kat. Not sure which book to get though. Maybe, "How to Run and Not Upchuck Your Breakfast?" Kidding aside, I might go for a good mystery or action adventure book. I will have to go to ITUNES and see what they have. Thanks Kat.
Papaduck, one of my favorite things to do is walk in San Francisco. I live about 30 miles away and when we spend the day there, I absolutely love to just walk and take in the architecture and culture that surrounds me. We once walked for over 10 miles all around the city from Telegraph Hill to Marina Green (almost to the Golden Gate Bridge) and it was a blast. Someday I would like to walk all the way across the Golden Gate bridge. Maybe that will be my goal this year to make it all the way. We have been half way across and ran out of time. You could say doing that is definetely on my bucket list. :lolg:

Don't have a "bucket list", just gonna do everything I want to do, and when I run out of things, start relaxing. :thumbs:

I do half marathons. Im 40 something and have done 4 of them in the past 2 years. I dont really run but more like a super fast power walk. I can keep the disney required pace of 16 minute mile. I want to learn to run now so ultimatley I can do a full marathon someday.
Training for the half marathons I do about 200 miles. Most on the tread mill and I use my iPod there. On the street I used my iPod but i tend to get more caught up in the scenery. The iPod gets me through the time though. The longest run you do for a half training is 10 miles (If you can run 10 miles you can definetly do 13.) Im a very visual person. I love to see the flowers and in the desert where I live the cactus and other desert plant flowers are so beautiful.
I am such a non athlete. I began this half marathon just to see if I could do it and get the cool Disneyland medal. I discovered I love long distance a lot!! Especially the race day.

I think... :heat: I sure wish I could breath without my lungs burning... :tan: Maybe I better rest :thumbs:

:trophy: I run for fun, I will NEVER win the race, lol. I like 5k, 10k, and 1/2 marathons. (I just can't seem to be able to commit to the amount of TIME needed for training for a full marathon)
I listen to an iPod if I am running alone (what I am doing right now) but, when I am back in shape I have a couple groups of friends (one group does 10K's and the other is always training for 1/2 marathons) that I will run with. We talk about life and all it's craziness when we are running in a group - was taught if you can't talk while running you are pushing yourself too hard.
There are MANY runners out there if you want to run with someone else.
IF anyone would like them - I have the John Stanton 'learn to run' book - I can post the 'Learn to Run' - going from walking to running. The '10k' training schedule, the 'half-marathon' training schedule... etc.
