I enjoyed my first half so much I signed up for more! I have now run three more halfs using using the Heart + Sole Heart Rate training plans. I managed to also run a 10K that year two days “before the snow flew.”Īfter that my BRFs had me hooked and I signed up for the TLAM Traditional Half Marathon plan to prepare for my first half, the 2019 Sioux Falls Skedaddle. During that time I met a couple local #BAMRs who fostered my enthusiasm for running as a lifestyle and tackling longer distances. I started out wanting to complete a 5K, so I did the Couch to 5K program. I started running May 2018, after deciding I needed to make a healthy lifestyle change. ) BUT, I’ve never regretted a run after it was over!Īmy Rans, Heart + Sole: Half-Marathon, Level 1 When I run, I feel: …like I’m gonna die for the first mile usually, but then my body gives in and cooperates. My next out-of-state not-virtual half marathon is planned for the AMR fall retreat in Portland, OR (although race in Washington state). I ran the Lincoln, NE half-marathon with my daughter (virtually as it was cancelled) the first weekend of May. However, it piqued my interest so I’ll come back and experiment with the Heart + Sole (heart rate-based) plans when I start running solo again in the fall.
She’s home from college because of Covid-19. I’ve struggled with April’s heart rate training month as one of my 19 year old twins has been doing all my runs with me. Hardest workout in Many Happy Miles so far: I usually go to Orangetheory, Pilates reformer classes, and a local yoga studio for cross training, so I needed something to supplement my running while all my local classes were cancelled. I’ve really loved April’s morning strength workouts with Dimity & yoga with Brenda. I wanted to be more involved and loved the swag! I truly just cannot get enough of this #BAMR community. Currently I am trying to do a half marathon in all 50 states.
Shortly after that I did the Lincoln half-marathon. My niece, Laurel Short, current BAMRbassador, encouraged me to start running in 2011 at age 41! I did a version of couch to 5K and my first race was the Chicago Hot Chocolate 15K. Kids: Three daughters – twins Emma & Sarah (age 19) and Amelia (age 16).
