Attention Beginning Runners!
Do Your Friends Neglect To Invite You To Do Things
Because You Run Out Of Energy?
Have You Always Wanted To
Get Up From Your Chair And Become A Runner?
Have you ever wanted to tell someone,
“I'm a runner!”?
I began running in 1978 during my junior year in college – and it has become a very important part of my life since. If running is something that you are interested in doing, you should know that you just can’t go from doing nothing to heading out the door to run. You need to gently work into it. You need to get your body used to moving before you start running.
My name is Judy Mick and when I started running it was basically to keep my weight down (or I should say get it back to where it was before I started college). And, I’ve been running since. In fact, I have not missed a single day of running since 1985!
Now, I’m not a former Olympic runner – I’ve never been nationally ranked – I’m just like you. I decided that I wanted to become a runner and I did. And, I’ve been running ever since. So, I know how you feel. And, I can help you to become a runner.
Some benefits of becoming a runner are:
- Help to strengthen your heart and also helps the blood and oxygen flow through your body – this helps to keep away the threat of a heart attack.
- Builds your immune system to help you keep from getting colds
- Helps to lower your blood pressure
- Strengthen your bones to help keep away osteoporosis
- Keep your energy level up so you can get through your everyday activities
I’ve put together a program to slowly get you from doing absolutely nothing to be able to run. We go from nothing to building up your walking and then building up to running. You don’t want to do too much too fast – or you risk getting injured!
In this program we cover:
- Starting from doing absolutely nothing to being able to walk 30 minutes a day
- Start working running into your walking and build up to running 3 miles
- Get you ready to run a 5K (3.1 miles) road race
- What items that you need as a walker/runner
- Nutritional need of runners, plus much more!
If you agree that becoming a runner is for you:
But, don’t just take my word for it! Here are what some famous people have to say about running:
– Oprah Winfrey
“Running is one of the best solutions to a clear mind.”
- Sasha Azavedo
“Running helps me stay on an even keel and in an optimistic frame of mind.”
- Bill Clinton
“Everyone who has run knows that its most important value is in removing tension and allowing a release from whatever other cares the day may bring.”
- Jimmy Carter
“Running has made being depressed impossible. If I’m going through something emotional and just go outside for a run, you can rest assured I’ll come back with clarity.”
-Alanis Morissette, singer
Even though running is not hard to start, there has to be a reason to change from what you are doing (sitting on the couch perhaps) to something new and potentially life-changing. In other words, you have to find your heart.
Earlier I mentioned the 3 biggest reasons to start a running program:
- Losing weight
- Getting in shape
- Improving your health
These are fine motivators, but they are not personal motivators; these are not your “heart.” What is going to get you moving and keep you moving are more measured and personal statements and not quite so vague. Take a look at what some people have said that they want from running:
I want to:
- “Stop taking blood pressure medications.”
- “Reverse my Type 2 diabetes.”
- “Be around to see my grandkids grow up.”
- “Feel confident in myself and my body again.”
- “Attend my grandkid’s college graduation.”
- “Welcome my great-grandchild into the world.”
- “People I love to respect me.”
- “Feel like I did when I was a kid.”
- “Be an example for my spouse.”
- “Be an example for my kids.”
- “Be an example for my grandchildren.”
- “Walk my daughter down the aisle.”
- “See my granddaughter in my wedding gown.”
- “Prove something to myself.”
Those statements are personal! Some of these statements may even sound familiar to you. When looking for motivation, dig deep. When you have a concrete and specific reason for a change, it will propel you forward through the tough running workouts and help you reach the finish line every time. Might I add; if your personal reason to run brings a tear to your eye, even better. You’ve found the heart of your motivation.
I had been a runner in college, which had been more than 30 years ago. Then, I stopped.
All of these years, it had been my dream to become a runner again. But, after several surgeries and massive weight gain, I had resigned myself to the fact that was not to be.
Then, I met Judy and joined her Walk To Run Program. I just finished a 2 ½ mile walk for charity and will be running my first 5K since 1979 in a few weeks.
Now, I can say, I’m a runner again!
