I don’t intend to ever run a half marathon. I do applaud all those that do. The beauty of the Peterborough Annual YMCA Half Marathon is that you don’t have to run a 21.2 kilometers, you can run a half a half (10.55km), 5km or a kids 1km fun run. There is choice, which for me is motivation to get er dun. I need extra motivation in the winter to get moving.
I ran the 5km and thought it would be fun to try my Go Pro camera strapped to my head to hopefully inspire you to see it’s not that hard. If you are a runner you already know this.
If I can do it, so can you. I’ve said it before and I will say it again, running is the easiest and most affordable way to get your daily exercise in. Get some shoes and get out the door. Start small and walk/run if you have to, or just walk if running is too hard on your joints.
Take a look at the VLOG (3min) and let me know what you think. Would you try it? Have you ran a 5km? Do you have running goals? Would you wear a superhero cape when you run;)?
Thanks all the supporters who cheered us on when we wanted to quit! I know after Leonardo DiCaprio's oscar speech last night, perhaps I shouldn't be applauding the weather, but it was definitely amazing to have the sun and not minis 20 degree temperatures!
