That's my big injury trigger.<br /><br />Maui in January is AWESOME. You must do the half! It does get hot, though.

At the very beginning of your post, I wondered if you were going to say you wanted to train for a marathon. That would be great if you wanted it (and given your past accomplishment, you'd undoubtedly achieve it), but to what end? So it's great that your outstanding work(out) ethic has brought you to this place and you're able to feel good about it. Not like you have to do more.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12401609334253676307noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-39345362133283332592013-03-13T13:17:44.265-05:002013-03-13T13:17:44.265-05:00This is a very happy post Shelley!!!

I've always thought that if my exercise hits a point where I dread it, I need to change something. I won't stick with it if I'm not also enjoying it.<br /><br />I thought about doing Hawaii for my first half, but my husband wondered why on Earth we would want to run a half marathon while on vacation? I do plan to run while I'm in Hawaii next month (I'll be training!), but a few miles should do me :)Annehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18403024177515079403noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3067665701316634699.post-3090077833273584822013-03-13T09:02:48.045-05:002013-03-13T09:02:48.045-05:00The biggest threat to enjoyable running is compari...The biggest threat to enjoyable running is comparing ourselves to others.
