Kristi and Vickie

We are regular gals. Both of us are Moms with kids who keep us pretty busy. We've chosen to use running and walking as a way of exercising in our lives. We have lots of years of experience that we'd like to share with you.

Our book, RunnerMom, is available to help YOU add running and/ or walking to your life. You can make it happen. 

 

 

 

RunnerMom and MomLogic!

I had the pleasure of speaking with Vivian Manning-Schaffel, to do a series of four articles for www.momlogic.com about running. You can check all the articles today on MomLogic.com - a really fun site if you haven't seen it already.

Or, you can access the articles here. Would love to see your comments!! Thanks!

For more tips, check these out.

 And, stay tuned, MomLogic and RunnerMom, with Vivian Manning-Schaffel, will be doing a series of three articles on getting you to the start line of a half marathon race. I know you can do it!!! I'll help you get there.

RunnerMom June Tip:

One of the most important things you can to to ensure your success is to set a goal. The more specific the goal the better your chances of reaching the goal. Don't set yourself up for failure!!

Write down your goal. Be specific. "I want to lose weight" is not specific enough."I want to lose 15 pounds" is better. Then add a time frame, but be realistic. Or you can pick a road race as a goal (see quick links on this page to find a race). Make sure to give yourself enough time to train, register for the race and just don't be last!

Did you know that keeping track of your runs can be the best way to ensure your success??? That's why we included a log in RunnerMom.

 Put it on your fridge. Tell everyone.

FUN Running/Walking Item to Check out:

The Running Skirt. OK, I admit I was skeptical. But, this thing is so stinkin' comfortable!
I found mine at Try Sports in Raleigh, but you can check with the on-line store for other locations.  I like the Skirts Sports brand myself.

Running Skirts at Runningskirts.com

Great Store in Raleigh (and Charlotte & Wilmington): Try Sports

I had so much fun at Try Sports in Raleigh! What a great store. Not only do they carry terrific running gear for us regular gals, but they have this really cool program to help figure out what type of running shoe you should be in. And that is THE most important thing to your success as a runner or walker - the right shoes. It will take about 20-30 minutes - but time well spent with these folks. Check 'em out! And, by the way, it's really wonderful being in a running store and not feeling intimidated or like if you're not a pro they don't care about you.Love that.

Try Sports is at the Crabtree Valley Mall in Raleigh. Also on the web at www.trysports.com

Find your Race Training Guide Here.

Once you've signed up for your race, you will need a training guide to keep you on track and heading toward your goal.

There are many sites on line that offer downloadable free training guides. Here are two of my favorites:

Hal Higdon (I use his novice guide, even after running 5 marathons!)

Jeff Galloway
