I have many friends. I like to kayak. I like makeup. I have a wedding coming up.
My favorite food is crab. I like model planes. I enjoy the tv show family guy. I like to kayak. My favorite place to kayak is a National park. I am part of a running group. I run six miles a day. I don't really like makeup. I am planning my next kayak trip to a new spot.
I really think I might need some running tips because I am having trouble fitting into these new jeans I purchased.  Of course. I would love to share with you what I have learned during my running journey. I used to think running was for just a special few, but I found this plan called Couch to 5k that was so incremental and so easy that I eventually found myself running 5ks after 8 weeks. It was surprising how I became a runner in so quick a time. Does that sound interesting to you? Yeah, tell me more about this plan. Is it an app? Yeah, there are a few apps that track your time when running and progress over time. It's starts out as walking/running intervals. Like 1 minute run, 1.5. minute walk and slowly progresses to longer runs and shorter walks. Even when I was overweight, I was able to do it. However, if you don't want to do the apps, there are pdf files you can search for that have the plan. Have you ever had an exercise routine? Yeah, I had something like a high intensity interval training plan. Like you, it was on and off exercising. I found that helpful, but still need more motivation. What motivates you? Hmm, there is the interesting component that is the most important: motivation. I usually set goals for myself. At first, it was things like if I can run a 5k, I will buy myself some running wear. Over time, the rewards have changed. But I think it is important to have goals and rewards that incentivize those rewards. Also, I found that running with a group helped keep me accountable. Do you have any friends that you could run with?  That's a good idea. I don't have friends that run. Do you have suggestions for finding a running group? I would search on facebook if there was any groups in your areas, or if there is a sports store in your town, they usually are aware of running groups in the areas. Do you have any other health goals besides fitting into those jeans? Well, I just want to stay healthy as I get older. Kayaking helps. Which national parks do you kayak in? I really enjoy kayaking in Big Bend National Parks in Texas. Usually others rate their experience there as really enjoyable as well. Where do you usually Kayak? I have a cottage on the side of a like up in Canada. I do that in the summer. Where is your next kayak trip?  Wow. I've never been kayaking outside of the US, but I've heard Canada has some good spots. Maybe one day, I will kayak up there. I actually plan on visiting Big Bend next weekend. It never gets old haha
