hi gals,
Becky, your post is so timely...I was just reading one of my e-newsletters and they had an article for 1/2-marathon training (written mostly for first-timers, but I still learn something regardless of what I read). Here's the link: http://www.active.com/running/Articles/7-Training-Tips-for-Your-First-Half-Marathon.htm?cmp=282&memberid=111651835&lyrisid=22783954.
I subscribe to e-newsletters from the following websites (which means SHORT articles, not books!):
http://www.active.com/ (look under "Resources")
http://www.runnersworld.com/
Lots of great stuff...some will come weekly, others every two weeks, depending on content. Active has newsletters for running, tri, nutrition, women's fitness, etc. I also find Runner's World mag very helpful.
Happy reading! and Becky, I'll get those booty mix CDs to you via Juli at some point very soon! Have fun in WI.
Lisa, how was TN? I hope you didn't melt!
xoxo

Apparently I am Blog Challenged as I still can't figure out out to actually post to the blog- but I can comment so here I go -
ReplyDeleteI ran 8 miles on Friday afternoon (9,1) and will start my interval training tomorrow, August 10th and as Jen had mentioned before I am not very fond of interval trainig but I do know that it makes me a much stronger, faster runner so I will endure the pain!
I don't use music when I run but I do go over in my mind all of the things I am grateful for. The top of my list (other than my health) is Jen O as she has been such an inspiration in my life both as an athlete and as a human being. Not only is she an amazing woman but she introduces me to her amazing friends (like all of you) which in turn I get to surrond myself with strong, secure, loving, wise women. I always count my blessings while I am running, from my incredible friends and family, my strong legs, heart and lungs to the beautiful surroundings that I get to run in. When I told my friend Julie this she made the comment "Oh, so you Pray while you are running" she said it jokingly however she is precisely right.
