Have you ever wanted to run or walk a 5k, 10k, half marathon, or full but didn’t have the motivation to keep going? For the next 17 weeks I hope to help you -we are going to train together! Here’s how it will work:

1. 1. Register on my site by entering your information on the contact form or emailing me directly at trillfitness@gmail.com. Write Let’s Train in the subject line. Give me your name, address and email address.
2. 2. Begin your training by choosing your training program. We will be using Jeff Galloway’s half marathon training program but you can choose to do the 5 or 10k or if you’re really ambitious you can choose the entire marathon!
3. 3. Keep a log of all of your running by using the form you’ll receive once you register. For accountability you can choose to email your form back to me or a friend each Friday or save it for your own benefit and records.
4. 4. Choose a road race to participate in. Find a road race in your city or surrounding area  to participate in. If you do not have a half marathon near you, run a 5k.
5. 5. At the end of 17 weeks you will let me know how you did and where you ran your race.

Why Register?

PRIZES will be awarded to those who register through drawings and various other events. Prizes and events will be announced later.

Accountability and encouragement! Training “with” someone or a group is a wonderful motivator. Even if we are not running side by side you will know that you (and several others from around the globe) are running “together”.  We won’t know if you are not registered.

My Personal Journal and Suggested Reading

Every other Friday, beginning next week, I’ll be blogging about my training experience. You’ll get an honest look into training for a marathon including triumphs and failures, good days and bad as it relates to training.  At the beginning of April I will begin a series on a new book Are You Fit for Life? by Jack Graham, published by Crossway Books. I look forward to sharing more about this book soon. If you would like to join me in reading Are You Fit for Life? you can preorder the book by clicking here.

Let’s Train!

Remember to Register (send me an email)! Did I mention- it’s FREE!
