Before the launch of our virtual store, our Think Fast Move Faster.com staff thought about our members, runners, and fitness guru’s when it came to athletic gear.  There are an overwhelming amount of running shoes review sites, but not so much when it came to the smallest of athletic accessories and gear and we meant socks, chronographs, and even water bottles.

Working, personal life, and running has been keeping me away from updating my blog. I appreciate you patiently waiting for my updates about my training and running events.

In my previous blog, that got lost in the mix, I am running in the Xterra Races this weekend.  I originally intended to run the Xterra Fugitive 10K, but thanks to Jeff – an avid runner friend, Richmond Road Runner, and Courtside West gym member at our office location, he convinced me to run the Xduro 21K (13.1 mile; half marathon) race.

My initial reaction was, “…ahh…(here it comes) why not?” If I ran eight miles Saturday and another six on Sunday, I might as well run the Xduro. He inspired me to just go the distance.  I have been sticking to 10K’s so far this year and I was starting to get tired of it.  Jeff made it simple,  “It’s only $10 more, you’ve got to do it. You just have to!”  Jeff had a point, $10 more and I’d be running a 21K in less than 1 hour and a half. I’m already running, I run in my sleep. It is not just the shirt, but for the miles and experience, I will be taking in. Why not?

I was hesitant at first, because I felt the jitters and in my mind I thought to myself I really am not ready to run a 21K / half marathon.  I have not run a half/full marathon since 2007.  I have not trained enough; see below these “excuses/reasons on why I will not run more than a 10k” Excuses / Reasons why I did not consider doing the 21K:

I hope you all had an awesome weekend.  Happy Birthday to my sister Nic who just turned 20 on the 29^th. Reflecting back on May, I had such a blast and experience running the three races in three days and now here we are in June! Time just flies by when you are running, literally!  I signed up for the Xterra races after making a phone call to Carol Hart of Balega Sports. As one of the site administrators for this site, we wanted to incorporate a products review page before the launch of our cyber store. We thought about it and our team was thinking
