Me training on a treadmill
I finally figured out my perfet running pace
It all started when I decided to go on a fun run with friends. My buddies are pretty serious runners so it was everything but fun. We took off at an okay pace.
I was able to keep up for a little while. Then my asthma kicked in and I felt completely winded. I had to slow down to a complete stop. My friends were so worried, but I urged them to continue on without me. That day I took an Uber home. I thought I'd never run again. At least I would never run again with that group.
Months later I tried running again. Only this time I went out on my own. I ran at a pace that was slow enough for me to maintain. After a couple of miles I wanted to give up again. I slowed my pace down even more, but refused to come to a full stop. There was even a point where I walked an entire mile. I was so proud of myself.
I made it through my first five mile run. I was all alone and my paces was down to a crawl, but I did it. I never gave up. I think that is what I had to learn about pace.
The idea is to learn what works best for you and grow from there. I felt good and started running with my friends again.
“I never gave up.”

Running programs for kids is a great way to shape their future
I started running when I was five years young. My brother who is three years older than me ran also. It all began with our gym teacher Mr. Rafel. He saw talent we never new existed.

Getting Over My Fear Of Swimming In The Ocean For Triathlon Training
When I moved to San Diego, I didn't have a gym membership. Or a pool to swim in. But I had already signed up for the Las Vegas triathlon so I had to train. My only option was to swim in the ocean. Ugh.
