The 13.1 mile half marathon is a highly respected race among endurance athletes. The physiology of the half marathon is straightforward--it is a test of stamina. Keys to successful half marathons are to begin with a well-structured plan that properly incorporate your abilities and goals, and to follow the plan with consistency.
Spring Half Marathons:
* Country Music Half Marathon--April 30th (www.CMMarathon.com; cost $90 thru 12/31)
* Knoxville Half Marathon--April 3rd (www.KnoxvilleMarathon.com; cost $50 thru 2/15)
* Lynchburg Half Marathon--April 2nd (www.oakbarrelhalf.com; cost $50 thru 12/31)
This program is appropriate for those who wish to run, run/walk, or walk the half marathon. DO NOT FEAR! Three months is plenty of time for novice athletes to prepare their minds and bodies to complete a half marathon. Remember, endurance athletes are not made overnight. People become half marathoners with intelligent consistent training.
Pre-Requisite for Enrolling: We ask that all participants be comfortable covering a 3 to 4 mile distance regardless of pace (run, walk/run, or walk).
Program Includes:
* One coached "long run/walk" each week
* 14 week training program
* Performance T-Shirt
* Support--a chance to meet new people who are taking the 13.1 mile challenge!!!

Stop the New Year’s Resolution Insanity
Over the years, I've found that most New Year resolutions do not work. They’re generally made after too many cocktails and not enough serious thought.
To make real changes in our lives, we have to look in the mirror, decide if we are happy with our current state of affairs and then make a serious commitment for change and improvement. You can do it, but you must be honest with yourself.
Any time is a good time to put a plan into action. If you are committed to having your goal coincide with the New Year, plan now so you are ready to hit the ground running. Here are a few tips to help you get started:
Getting Motivated
You have to look inside yourself and find that fire--that passion and zest for life. You probably are as fat as you think. You probably are as out of shape as you think. Now let’s do something about it!
I don't care what sport you played in high school or college. This is the here and now. What are you currently doing? It’s called "tough love." Use it on yourself. Now let's get fired up and make it happen. Make this the year that you regain control of your life or take your current fitness to the next level.
Goal Setting
What is it that you want to do? Do you want to run a 5k, a marathon or do a Strongman contest? Join our running group this winter/spring or purchase some personal training sessions.
Of course, It doesn't have to be that insane, goals can be anything. It’s your job to determine what your goals are.
First, set a fun, healthy or even crazy goal. Then go for it. Don't focus on weight loss--let that be a by-product of your fitness goal. If you continue to focus on that number on your scale, you'll drive yourself crazy.
Find an Event
You're motivated. You’re dedicated. Now it's time to find a fun event that will keep you motivated, in shape, and having fun. Make up your mind and commit to do that one thing that you've always thought about and wanted to do.
Get your family, friends or coworkers to join you. There are thousands of exciting adventures out there for you to choose from.
Getting motivated, committed and dedicated to the New Year's Resolution is the hard part. Now get out there and have some fun. "A journey of a thousand miles must begin with a single step."
Quote of the Month:
“May all your troubles last as long as your New Year's resolutions.”
Joey Adams
Wishing you all a Happy, Healthy, and “ENERGY FIT” 2011…
COMMIT 2 BE FIT,
Josh Rogers
