What about training?
To help you run a good race you have to go out and train. Put on your sneakers and run some miles, the more miles you can put in, the better distance-runner you will be. It's that simple. Running alone will work but running with other people will make it much easier. If you are looking for other runners to join you on your long runs or want to do some 'speed-work' check out the West Florida Y Runners Club.
Every week(end) we offer distance-runs between 4 and 13 miles (and more) in beautiful Clearwater/Clearwater Beach/Sand Key and Belleair. Special speed workouts with certified coaches are on the rubberized track of Clearwater HS on Tuesday mornings. While you are working out you make new friends, get faster and more efficient and maybe one day you will line up at the start of the Boston marathon.
Anyway, for only 15 dollars per year you can become a WFYRC member and if you want to sign up the whole family (they have to live under one roof) it's just $25 so what are you waiting for?
The West Florida Y' Runners Club started in 1978. We are a registered non-profit, volunteer organization, whose purpose is to promote running, walking and overall fitness.
