My First Half Marathon...I Did It!!!

8.17.10



I did it - My first Half Marathon!!! It was very hard, but very rewarding. Thank you Tonya for pushing me this far and thanks Christina for running the last 1.5 miles with us. There were 2 things that were horrible for my first half.....One: we ran on dirt roads with rocks for most of the race, Second: I crossed the finish line, mentally and physically, thinking I was done - BUT, I wasn't. Tonya looked at her watch and we had only done 11.6 miles. Seriously, I had tears in my eyes when she said, "Put your shoes back on we didn't come all this way to not run a half marathon." I thought I was going to hit someone.....but now I'm VERY glad that she made me do the last 1.5 miles. Now, I just need to figure out what is going on with my feet. As I've said in past blogs my feet go numb around mile 3 but by mile 6 they hurt so bad that I can barely walk on them. So, when I know I'm going a long, long distance then I stop after mile 4, stretch, and then keep going. I have to do this about every 2 to 3 miles to make it to the end. I will be calling the doctor to see what they can do to help me! Now, I will be training for the Full Marathon on 10.10.10 - Yeah!!!

The First Workout With Tonya

The Journey

"When are you due?" This is a question I've been asked too many times....and I'm NOT Pregnant. I don't like the way I look, the way I feel and I'm going to do something different for myself, for my family, for my daughter who watches and looks up to me. -Krista Hunt



Many women across the country are stuck in an unhealthy rut that they would love to change. In today's society, with the pressures of work, family and juggling everyday life, a person's health becomes last on their "checklist," leading them down a path of unhealthy living. Local business owner, Krista Hunt will take a four month journey with local fitness trainer, Tonya Wells to help transform her chaotic life, inside and out. Her goal is to lose 45 lbs. and run/walk a full marathon on 10.10.10 (Prairie Fire Marathon). In weekly training sessions, Tonya will push Krista outside her comfort zone, getting to the root of the issues in her life which affected her health and happiness. The introduction of new exercises and eating habits will help give Krista the tools for an emotionally and physically healthier lifestyle.
