Two years ago, I started running regularly. I always liked running. Cardiovascular exercise fascinates me, but took a long time that did not run so frequently and increasingly longer and more distance. When I ran 10km with ease, my body started to ask for more. Went jogging and was not when to stop. I like that adrenaline and mental work that requires long distance running. I said why not sign up for the half marathon? I looked for information online and signed up immediately. But the mind is very powerful and we must not allow ourselves to be mastered. It scared me. I had doubts. Could it be that I can run the 21kms? In a month and a half you will not be able to get … I decided if I was not able to complete the 21kms running, the walk, but I know myself when I draw a goal, not to get rest, especially in terms of capacity physics is concerned.

I started training hard. Well documented and I found books and references that guided me during the 50 days. 7 days a week, running 3 days 5 to 8 km. A strength and flexibility working days, the next day was a spinning alternating cardiovascular activity, rest a day and usually on Sunday, conducted the week long race. I gradually reaching 12, 16, 18 km … The race day, the Bogota Half Marathon was held on August 2, 2009, was ready.

Career Day

More than 30 000 people gathered on a sunny morning in Bogota. It was 930am when I entered the Plaza de Bolivar. I was quiet because I felt that I had prepared well. Had breakfast 2 hours before: a banana, a slice of rye bread and coffee. During the week before the race had started eating 10% more carbohydrates – rice, bread, pasta, integrated whole. I was well hydrated the night before and in the morning.

I enrolled in the open category. This category is divided into colors, depending on the speed with which distance is performed. My start was yellow, for those who are delayed 1 hour 45 min to 2 hours 15 min completing 21kms. Let’s say I’m not a runner, but my idea was not to win by any means. The emotion was total. Ten minutes before the race, I approached my exit. The enthusiasm of all participants was contagious. He felt a special vibration in the environment. At 10 am sharp, the doors opened and we started the race.

The day was beautiful, the sun was shining and my resistance was 100%. Mental work is very important for this type of event. It’s a lot of time running, the distance is long and you have to control the mind, so work in your favor. I was calm, enjoying every step he took on the asphalt. Little by little, one progresses to other brokers or vice versa. You can not let it affect you the most important thing for me was to keep the pace and peace of mind. My goal was to complete the race, reaching the Simon Bolivar Park as a winner because the complete half marathon is an achievement, not everyone does. And I did …

At 2 hours, was crossing the finish line. They gave me my medal as a participant and lay down on the grass with the other runners to stretch. She was alone. Nobody expected me to cross the finish line, only accompanied me great satisfaction and a sense of achievement. My goal was to run in the marathon and half turned.

Today I keep running from 3 to 5 times a week. Running has become a passion, a necessity, a way to relax. I can not wait for the half marathon this year, I probably will go much better, but the experience in my first half marathon I’ll never forget. So I say, sets goals and works to do it, is the best dose of self-esteem that you experience in your life.

In these times this much in fashion for teens, technology. Everyone wants a Playstation, a Wii or an Xbox. This fashionable Facebook, Twitter and other media via internet. Which brings us to the conclusion that most of the teens spend at home playing computer or any of the devices mentioned. That is no practice sports, it causes some teenagers have obesity problems, since they spend sitting and eating food that does not contribute to the smooth functioning of your body.

Maybe I’m wrong in saying that no teenager playing sports, because there is a minority that does. Such men to go to the gym or Training Soccer, like women nowadays practically almost the same sports as men.

Something I found interesting is that I did not find the sports category VOLLEYBALL, are all sports but volleyball is not. Where I live volleyball is important, not to say that we have the best players, but the sport is popular here in Jesus Maria, Cordoba. Back then, gymnastics in schools that offer is not enough to stay in shape, because adolescents eat every crap (so to call it) coming out and do new sports besides gymnastics school.

Today play a sport other than the school is an almost obligation (so to speak) is fashionable as well as the furniture, with the difference that sport contributes to good physical condition and good health. We must add to that a good feed at least 2 liters of water a day, little bread and pasta. The rest can eat without abusing them in quantity.

In order diculpas on my way to write and express is the first time I write, I’m young and I have much experience in writing, but I found it interesting the page. Greetings.
