Training for my first half marathon

So I did the 5K back in July. For my next challenge I signed up for a half marathon in October. I must say it is challenging, especially in this heat. I try to more at night when it is much cooler. I can run faster and longer. As of today, Im up to about 5.5 miles, next week I want to get to 6 miles.
Every week after that I will keep adding another mile. Hopefully by Oct 17th Ill be ready to do the 13 miles.

If it wasnt for starting my fitness journey with P90 and then P90X, I would never ever imagined training for a half marathon at age 52!

My FIRST 5K Race

I started my journey of fitness 2 years ago and I am amazed at the things I have been doing ...things I never even imagined I would ever done before. Lat week I ran in my first 5k race. Tony Horton, creator of P90X, was the honorary marshall. It was close to 100 degrees that morning. I ran my best and finished the race. When I crossed that finish line it felt like I had run a marathon. It felt soooo good!

Here is part one:

National Press Club 5K Race

This past weekend I did something I never thought I would ever do or could ever do...run in a 5K race. Ever since I started my journey of getting fit with P90 I have challenged myself to do things I never thought was possible. I know it doesnt seem very far, but to me it was! It felt so good to cross that finish line. Who knows? Maybe next Ill take on a half marathon!

Heres the link to a short highlight of the race:

Friday Night

So its Friday night, a friend's band is playing at the local bar, want to go, but no one to go with....so I decide to take a run, around the lake, around 4 miles. Spirit in the Sky blasting from my ipod, loved it...I feel great!

TONY HORTON'S SUPER SATURDAY

This past weekend I attended and participated in an amazing event, Super Saturday with Tony Horton. The day consisted of 2 workouts with Tony, Tony's 11 Laws of Fitness (here is the link to his funniest clips from the seminar:

a coach opportunity seminar and a healthy eating seminar from Tony's personal chef, Melissa Costello from Karmachow.com.
I also had the privilege of showing my success story video and introducing Tony before his 11 Laws:
