So, I was really excited about seeing your post because there is so much I'm still wondering about and this helped me some. I'm definitely needing a pair of running shoes. Haha, I know I'm surprised at how many 5K's are going on nearby now that I'm paying attention. I always thought they were really rare. That's cool about bananas and it's really great that your whole family is into running so that you get to spend time doing something y'all enjoy together! Thanks for all the information!

I just do these races once in a while for fun." Then he proceeded to finish 4th overall if I recall. <br /><br />Anyone who can do a half-marathon "for the fun of it" (or for whatever reason) is pretty impressive if you ask me! Thank *you* for being an inspiration. And happy "light jogging!" :)Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-46556332841884887322016-08-24T20:32:56.827-05:002016-08-24T20:32:56.827-05:00I don't run or train like you guys do.

What will really be interesting though will be finding out if I have the discipline to train in the cold this winter... Last year my mom and sister ran through cold, wind, and snow. I might end up taking the winter off and just starting again next spring, but then I might lose everything I've gained. Ah! For now I will just enjoy the good weather and hope for a mild winter!

I started with just running a quarter mile around our acreage. <br /><br />All the best to you on your weight-loss journey! I had some very minor issues for a while with my hip due to weak rotator muscles (i.e. a hip click), and that was super annoying. So I'm sure hip problems due to spine alignment issues are no fun at all. Will be hoping your hip is better soon. Take care, Carrie!Bethany Carsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583914285773271009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-52386329820825281332016-08-23T21:26:51.804-05:002016-08-23T21:26:51.804-05:00Amen; it is fun!

I have some hip issues (due to spine alignment issues)...so with some extra weight on it really doesn't help. <br /><br />I love all of the great tips and the pics...especially that last one of you with the shoes.

Running is very good, and you can keep in form and healthy. I think 25 minutes for 5 KM is a very good achievement. I see that you are well informed about running, and how to achieve a good performance. As for your sister she is in good form, because she runs a half marathon. I think you could also run such a distance, with the proper training.einkommen@hotmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05770970242309077335noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7376485905771945684.post-91045233357727486172016-08-21T22:53:30.327-05:002016-08-21T22:53:30.327-05:00I love the photo of your family!
