1) I started running in Middle S...So here we go...<br /><br />1) I started running in Middle School in order to stay in some kind of not so roundish shape. I stopped when I got to college because I had no more coaches making me have to do it. I have always tried to start getting back into it but my motivation always dies when I have no one else doing it with me. So Running Engage is AWESOME!<br /><br />2. Getting as many people around me who actually want to run or need a motivation buddy, also I have started watching the biggest loser, so on those WAY no motivation days I watch that show. If they can do it why can't I?!<br />3. Don't normally set any running goals. I do have one now but I guess I am supposed to share that in a later blog :P<br />4. A good run is one in which I actually went. I have definitely decided that the morning is my time to run, my buddy is just excited about it and it hasn't been on it's feet all day. But yea, if I go on a run for the most part that is about as good as a run gets for me. O, I guess there are also those times where I feel like I just didn't go on a run, those are AWESOME!<br />5. I officially have NO favorite running outfits. I don't care, I just go in whatever. I guess mesh shorts, like basketball shorts are normally my favorite, because guys just always have the most comfortable clothes and I can get away with wearing them while running :PThe Awesome adventures of Korenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10758219385892625274noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757871694066366561.post-33465961105415964212011-04-15T09:52:48.490-07:002011-04-15T09:52:48.490-07:001.

Good company is also a huge motivator. Just a general desire to stay fit helps too.<br />3. Right now I just shoot to get out there regularly. Once running, I like to see consistent mile splits. <br />4. A good run... could be a good push at the end, could be mentally overcoming a pain or terrain. Running is tough, so many things make it good.<br />5. teal running shorts with a sleeveless top. don't ask why. :)<br /><br />-JJesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16394789276204635656noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757871694066366561.post-60737360810565680402011-04-13T15:21:01.531-07:002011-04-13T15:21:01.531-07:001.

John was always a runner in high school and I always wanted to be, so we started running together. <br /><br />2. My motivation to run probably isn't the strongest (as I haven't gone on a run in 2 or 3 weeks...) but it's usually my desire to get a vigorous workout in that spurs me on. Or my cute new running shoes.<br /><br />3. Usually I like to run for at least 30 minutes or 3 miles. <br /><br />4. A good run means I made through the whole way without stopping to walk or if I increase my distance. <br /><br />5. My favorite running outfit is this pink halter-ish type top worn with hot pink shorts. I'm definitely a girly girl. My favorite accessory would either be my iPod, which tracks my running distance/time/calories burned and such...or John ;)<br /><br />Always,<br /><br />EmilyEmily K.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13900065307700301108noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1757871694066366561.post-12842687278921798682011-04-12T08:07:46.168-07:002011-04-12T08:07:46.168-07:001.

Granted we were hiking in Utah, Colorado, and Arizona... I was still getting way too shown up by his parents in their 60s. Then in November 2008 I ran my first ever race, the Richmond HVAC 8k, with my bff Adriana.<br /><br />2. Honestly, I get really motivated when my pants start fitting too tight. Also, it helps to have a really supportive fiance who celebrates and makes a big deal about all my runs (even training runs) regardless if I went super slow or not. Competing in and signing up for races helps too. I love the race atmosphere.<br /><br />3. I set running goals based on races in the future using the smart coach thing at runnersworld.com. Right now I don't have any races in the future because of wedding, etc. So I just set up my own goals based on how much weekly and monthly mileage I'd like to do.<br /><br />4. To me a good run means that I didn't walk or feel like dying. Also if I get finished and still want to run the next day then that's a good run, too.<br /><br />5. My very favorite attire are my black Nike running shorts. They are amazing. They have a thick waist band so it doesn't cut into me on bloated days. They have a small pocket inside that fits my energy blocks. They are black so they match everything. They are just the right length- short but totally appropriate (if they are too short then someone call me out haha). Oh how I love them. The rest of the outfit is unimportant if I'm wearing them.<br /><br />CandiceCandicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00069193048615085882noreply@blogger.com
