Walking or Running: A salute to Marathons
This is Rochelle and Mike Hoffman (Rochelle is my daughter). I am leaving out today to go to the Chicago Marathon where they will be running for the American Cancer Society. I have never walked in a marathon; however, I am challenging myself to advance in my walking levels. Are you challenging yourself to go to the next level in walking? You can and should to ensure creating your healthy body and lifestyles. I am registering for the Shamrock Half Marathon in Virginia Beach as a walker and training starts on November 13th, 2009 even though the event is March 2010. You need to train your body for long distance walking. Do not ever consider yourself too old to walk in a marathon! Write and tell me if you have walked in a marathon – I would love to hear about it. We need to encourage each other and share our stories. Well, off to Chicago and to cheer the “LIVE-LOVE-LAUGH” team to the finish line.
Sounds like fitness is a family affair. That’s wonderful that your daughter and son-in-law are runners. I wish them good luck. Also, it’s great that you are signing up for a half marathon. I would like that. There is not much going on in our area (Central California). I gotten as far as a training schedule, but have not worked on it. The longest distance I have walked in one stretch was 7 miles. So, I hope you all have fun. Have a wonderful weekend and I hope to read about your training.
