First, I went on a trip at the end of November with a few other ladies. One of them was a runner and had heard that I have done a few races as well. I told her that I was not sure I wanted to keep doing it because of my injuries. She was quite understanding and suggested that I may have some luck with the Galloway method. I thought about this for a while but was not sure I was ready.
Then, Chad and I did the Colder Boulder the second week in December. He ran the entire race, and I ran the downhills. I actually had fun run/walking by myself near the back with the people wearing costumes (I may wear one next year). At the end, I felt that runner's high I have been missing for quite a while. It convinced me that run/walk/run is the way for me (at least for now).
Last week, I bought Jeff Galloway's book. I am now about halfway through it, and I am learning a lot about what I have done wrong and how this method can help me. After reading a few chapters, I downloaded his app.
Today, I ran my first run using this method. I loved it, and I know where I can make a few tweaks to make the next one even better. I can't want to find out who this plan works for me.
